Plans submitted for expansion and development of the Bentley car plant site in Crewe are to be discussed at this Wednesday's (28th) meeting of the strategic planning board.

The proposal is introduced in the application as follows:

Hybrid Planning Application for – Outline planning application (with all matters reserved except for means of access and layout for Production and Manufacturing Facility 2) for the erection of 2 no. production and manufacturing facilities; two covered links connecting one of the production and manufacturing facilities with Bentley's existing manufacturing facility; an engine test bed facility together with associated car parking, landscaping and associated infrastructure. Full planning application for the erection of a gatehouse, security fencing, pedestrian turnstile and associated turning facilities to the west of the existing Bentley Motors site on Pyms Lane; the erection of a gatehouse, security fence, pedestrian turnstile, bin store, reconfiguration of visitor parking and associated turning facilities to the east of the existing Bentley Motors site on Pyms Lane; the erection of a gatehouse, security fence, cycle store, pedestrian turnstile and associated turning facilities together with a further gate on Sunnybank Road.

If successful, the development would see the effective annexing of the site – in part by the installation of gatehouses on both Pyms Lane and Sunnbank Road, meaning that they would become closed to public access.
