Representation Summary:
Whilst we generally support the identification of the former M25 Works Compound for development as a new business park, we have to question whether it can be considered as a previously developed 'brownfield' site. It is our understanding that the M25 Work Compound was constructed, under permitted development rights, as part of the recent widening of the M25 motorway. With the M25 improvements completed, and the site vacated, the General Permitted Development Order requires that the land be returned to its original state (i.e. open countryside). Accordingly, it is questioned whether it can be defined as 'previously developed' land.
