We are instructed by Parker Strategic Land Limited (“Parker”) and the following individuals: i) Philip Ian William Bailey ii) Linda Margaret Bailey iii) David Arnold Woodward iv) Jane Elizabeth Woodward v) Jane Lang Woodward vi) Jonathan Charles Woodward vii) Leonard Cooper Bailey viii) Keith William Bailey ix) David John Bailey (the “Landowners”). The Landowners own land covering approximately 44 hectares to the southwest of the M69 Junction 2 (the "Employment Site"). Parker has an interest in the Employment Site by way of a promotion agreement with the Landowners. The Employment Site is being promoted for the development of 133,000sqm of employment floorspace, a motorway services area and a hotel. The Employment Site partially falls within the DCO land and the northern part of it is proposed to be acquired temporarily for use as a construction compound and soil storage area. Parker and the Landowners robustly object to the temporary acquisition of part of the Employment Site on the following grounds: * The absence of a compelling case in the public interest; * Part of the Employment Site is not needed because there is an alternative means of bringing about the objective of the DCO; and * Lack of consideration of alternatives. Further detailed comments have been sent to the Examining Authority via email.
