Amendments submitted to West Suffolk Council

Since the submission of the application, Greene King has been in ongoing discussions with council officers and relevant stakeholders regarding the site and has been continuing to carefully consider all feedback received during the consultation period.

As a result of these discussions, we have submitted amendments to our planning application that facilitate the following positive changes to the scheme:

• Updated drainage and landscape design proposals that improve biodiversity net gain.

• Changes to the building design to improve functionality and reduce quantities of materials used in construction.

• Provision of a detailed parking note that outlines how Greene King will be accommodating all parking associated with the new brewery. This note details how:

• The proposed car parking provision aligns with Suffolk County Council’s parking standards.

• The site layout has been designed to provide flexibility between the proposed brewery and the new distribution centre.

• Parking restrictions within the immediate vicinity of the site will prevent off-site parking.

• On-site facilities will support cyclists and pedestrians, offering cycle parking and changing facilities to encourage active travel and reduce car reliance.

• Greene King will ensure that proposed parking provision meets peak demand, such as during shift changeovers.
