An oral representation in support of the application was given by a representative from the Agents. The Speaker stated that this was a proposal to replace a dated industrial building with a new building of an updated design, with the plans building on the existing layout. It would result in a high-quality and sustainable employment space with flexible plans for businesses to use the new building. The plan included electric vehicle charging points, cycle bays, landscaping and would be zero carbon following construction.
