An initial application for Outline Planning Permission with all matters reserved except access, appearance, layout and scale, for all existing buildings and equipment other than Kemps Mill which will be retained as flexible Class E/F2 floorspace, and the building of 120 residential dwellings, together with open space, vehicular and pedestrian accesses, landscaping and related infrastructure and engineering works at the former Greencore Factory, Prestleigh Road, Evercreech, had been submitted by West Estates Development Ltd.

In refusing the proposals, the planning officer's report said: "The proposed development would result in the loss of employment land on an established employment site in a primary village for which no exceptional circumstances have been demonstrated through adequate marketing or otherwise."
