Since then reserved matters approvals for John Lewis and River Island developments had been approved and implemented. The reserved matters application for AG Barr was the first application since 2009. • The application was for the construction of a drinks manufacturing and distribution unit with a total floor space of 27,536m2. Approximately 100 jobs would be created and the figure would increase over time. The application included an extension to Crossley Drive and the provision of 193 parking spaces. Landscape bunding would be provided between the building and the A421. • The proposed building would achieve BREEAM Excellent including features such as grey water recycling and performances for air tightness, lighting energy, UV value targets, natural ventilation and low energy gas fired hot water generators. • Additional comments received from MKC Development Control Committee (considered the application on 12th July 2012) that the Committee supported the comments already expressed by MKC Officers regarding the proposal. Both Kents Hill and Monkston Parish Council and the Environment Agency had no comment to the application. • No development shall provide parking that exceeds MKC maximum parking standards. The development proposed 193 parking spaces which would not exceed the maximum standards and the level was over and above the requirement of the applicant and would allow for future expansion of the proposed unit. • The access arrangement and extension of Crossley Drive were considered acceptable and details could be conditioned as part of any planning consent. • The development could bring additional employment opportunities and was supported by the Eastern Expansion Area Stakeholders Group. 7.3 Representations from the Public • Councillor White (Chair MKC Development Control Committee) advised the Committee that MKC DCC had considered the application as part of the consultation process and fully supported the Officers’ comments. It was an important development site for Milton Keynes and development should go ahead. There were no problems with the conditions proposed. • Councillor Hopkins (Ward Member for Danesborough) regretted that the Biomass energy plant was not being taken forward at this stage but welcomed the development as part of the economic development of Milton Keynes. He pointed out that there were development sites proposed south of the A421 and that the creation of a prominent gateway at the start of the A421 to Milton Keynes and master planning was important. 3 5 He had concerns on future car parking numbers if the site was sold on and possible drainage issues in light of recent high rainfall levels as this had previously been agricultural land.
