Government Office confirm outline approval of new industrial building in Green Belt

The Government Office for the West Midlands have confirmed the outline approval of a new 2,400 sqm workshop / office building for Langer (UK) Ltd on a Green Belt site close to Cheadle, Staffordshire.

The application was prepared and submitted by the Planning & Design Practice on behalf of the owner of the site and Langer (UK) Ltd. Following approval by the Staffordshire Moorlands Planning Committee in November 2008, the item was deferred to the Government Office for the West Midlands for confirmation, in accordance with standard procedure for major Green Belt applications. Now that the Government Office has rubber stamped the outline approval, Langer (UK) will be able to progress to a reserved matters application.

As part of the application the Planning & Design Practice prepared detailed designs for a contemporary looking building that would integrate sensitively with its woodland setting. We also prepared a Landscape Character and Visual Impact Assessment, a Design and Access Statement and a Market Appraisal of available industrial floor space in the area. Short presentations were made at the Committee meeting by Jon Millhouse of PDP and Peter Taylor of Langer (UK). Councillors voted unanimously in favour of the approval.
