All associated works to accommodate the proposed changes, including alterations to permitted open space, surface waste management, visitor cycle parking, and associated ancillary works are included in this application.

The remainder of the permitted development, including the site access, site services, and all other works will be delivered as permitted under ACP Reg. Ref.: 315488-23 (DCC Ref LRD 6003/22-S3).
