Pyestock mega depot

DEMOLITION work is about to start on a massive warehouse scheme between Fleet and Farnborough.

The bulldozing work comes three years after outline permission for the Pyestock mega depot was granted to PRUPIM and Prologis.

However, the joint developer has applied to Hart District Council for an extension of time for the submission of reserved matters by three years and the subsequent implementation by a further two years for its renamed Hartland Park development.

More than 12,000 people objected to the Pyestock scheme, warning it would ruin the area and wipe out the green ‘lung’ separating Fleet and Farnborough.

Objectors feared the depot would create thousands of lorry movements, having a huge impact on traffic, congestion and the environment.

However, PRUPIM and Prologis say the logistics park would create up to 1,600 jobs and clean up the contaminated derelict site.

Campaigners were dealt a massive blow in September 2009 when a junior minister in the Department for Communities and Local Government over-ruled a planning inspector’s decision and approved the mega depot plans.

Campaign group SPLAT challenged the decision but a High Court judge finally approved the scheme following a two-day hearing in June 2010.
