Objections to new warehouse plans

PLANS to build a new warehouse at the East Midlands Gateway development near East Midlands Airport have prompted objections from the parish council.

An application has been submitted at Plot 12, East Midlands Gateway Development for construction of a B8 warehouse together with ancillary buildings and associated access, parking, service and yard areas and landscaping.

Castle Donington Parish Council has discussed the proposals and is strongly objecting to the proposal.

It says the proposed height of the unit is above the originally approved height of 20.8m for units on the site and therefore the bund is not sufficient to shield the view of the units and will need increasing by 16m.
