Decision details

Cabinet considered a report on the Development Framework and Masterplan produced by Bentley Motors and the outcome of recent consultation with local residents and stakeholders.

The consultation process had highlighted a range of issues and concerns regarding the vision of the Development Framework and Masterplan. These issues would need to be addressed once the full detail was available following submission of a planning application.

The endorsement of the Bentley Motors Development Framework and Masterplan did not prevent the Council at a later date, through its planning duties, from exercising its right to refuse future planning application proposals relating to the scope of the plan.

At the Chairman’s invitation, Michael Straughan, Board Member for Manufacturing at Bentley Motors, addressed the meeting. Mr Straughan was accompanied by his colleague Sally Hepton.

RESOLVED

That the Development Framework and Masterplan produced by Bentley Motors as the basis of their future ambitions in Crewe be endorsed.
