Did anyone get a chance to attend the public exhibition today?

I did before going to the Couhig Q&A.

They've put the planning boards on their website: https://www.royalelmpark.co.uk/virtual- ... oming-soon

Was told they have to build the commercial aspects prior to building the housing as part of the 2018 planning application, so the phases shown below are the order they have to build:


The convention centre is Phase 3, but they've been more specific as to what will be inside.

There will be more reserved matter applications in the future - this process relates to Phase 5 specifically. They'll need one to cover Phases 6 and 7, which may be combined or may be separate.

The expansion to the AWE Detailed Emergency Planning Zone (DEPZ) takes into account the construction of Royal Elm Park, as it already had planning permission. The DEPZ only becomes any issue if they want to expand the numbers of people attending the site beyond what they received permission for. Was told they almost certainly would not have been able to get permission had the expansion occurred prior to their application.
