Ref. Gatwick Airport Northern Runway Project-Extension of deadline to receive Relevant Representation (application Ref. TR020005) Following the correspondence dated 8th November 2023 and the following meeting 15th September 2023. Britannia Hotel Group are willing to negotiate a fee for the land edged blue on the plan, however if not reasonable fee can be agreed we will seek to object this proposal. Furthermore, we object to the remainder of the proposals for the following reasons: • The land indicated in Pink on the site plan is requested as permanent Land to Take, and Britannia Hotels Group is generally not inclined to consent this kind of agreement to take place. In any event during our meeting a formal request for a proposed purchased price was advanced; but we haven’t received any reply so far. • It doesn’t appear clear, form the drawings provided, the reason why that strip of land is required, and we are concerned that any eventual future activity can have a negative impact on the signage indicating the hotel and in general have a negative impact on the hotel itself. For the above reason we strongly object on the proposal.
