Before Christmas I wrote a post in which I said that there would soon be a good deal of activity with regard to plans for open land to the north of Church Field Road in Chilton.
At a special meeting last week, members of Chilton Parish Council debated their response to the application by Prolog for planning permission for a head office building plus warehousing on the site. I understand that, although they are in favour of the development in principle because of the employment that it will bring to the area, the Council does have reservations, among other matters, about the scale of the proposals, the impact on nearby historic buildings, and also the intention to work 24/7.
It is not too late for Residents of Chilton to have their say on the proposals if they wish and comments can still be forwarded to Babergh. I am not entirely certain when the planning application will be heard by the Development Committee.
In this connection, proposals for the adjacent site to the west, which is owned by the Health Authority and is earmarked for a new health facility, will be on display in Sudbury Town Hall on Tuesday 18th January between 2.30 and 6 p.m.
