You may be well aware that an application has been submitted to discharge some of the conditions relating to the approval to construct the warehousing and distribution off the A509 adjacent to the A14. The conditions the application covers are:(i) The layout of the road, storm water drainage, including flood compensation works.(ii) Structural landscaping and landscaping of the estate road.The application is quite technical and some of it would be difficult for the layperson to understand. The Parish Council had not responded because a meeting had been offered by Tritax Symmetry to explain the application and to answer any queries we had at that time. The meeting took place by Zoom on Thursday last week and further information was promised to be issued by Tritax Symmetry, to date we have not received it and we are concerned that time is running out for our response so we are in the process of submitting a response to KBC (copy attached). We would ask you to consider the application and if possible to write/email to support our comments, the expiry date for comments is the 19th December 2020 but they are likely to take any comments that may be submitted a few days after that date.We were also told to expect quite a few further applications to discharge other conditions in the new year and the following timescale of some events was given to us:-1. Discharge of off-site conditions January/February (e.g. Highway works to Station Road junctions to Burton Latimer and Finedon, crossovers, cycle ways etc).2. Completion of Section 278 February (This is a section of the Highways Act 1980 that allows developers to enter into a legal agreement with the council (in their capacity as the Highway Authority) to make permanent alterations or improvements to a public highway, as part of the planning approval).3. Commencement of infrastructure works to the site March (Approximately a years work).4. Commencement of dual carriage works to the A509 at the middle of the year.5. Submission of buildings reserved matters commencing early part of the year (Discharge of conditions on buildings).Best wishes for a happy Christmas and for the New Year
