The local authority’s planning committee has approved an application from Fusion Assets proposing four new buildings on a vacant three hectare brownfield site to the west of the sports facility.
Totalling over 5,700 square metres in floor area, the development – which is classified as business, general industry, storage or distribution – would consist of three single occupancy buildings each with its own service yard and parking, while the fourth building would be split into six smaller units sharing a yard and parking facilities.
The application also proposes creating a new access junction connecting the site to the Ravenscraig Employment Spine Road and includes a total of 118 parking spaces including 12 disabled parking spaces and 14 electric vehicle charging bays, plus capacity for bicycles.
No objections were received by North Lanarkshire Council during the consultation period for this application and the committee unanimously approved it, subject to conditions recommended by planning officers.
