On 9 June the planning committee resolved to grant planning permission subject to the completion of a Section 106 Agreement for a 215,000sqm B8 distribution unit at Symmetry Park, Swindon. This new distribution unit is allocated within the Local Plan as part of the New Eastern Villages and will provide up to 2,000 new jobs.
i-Transport produced a Transport Assessment and Travel Plan to accompany the planning application and undertook extensive traffic modelling and discussions with Highways England and Swindon Borough Council to demonstrate the development could be safely accommodated on the highway network, as well as agreeing a suitable package of measures to enhance the accessibility of the site by non-car modes.
