A decision is due later this week
More than 500 jobs will be created if a major project on the edge of a Nottinghamshire town is approved.
Despite council officers advising committee members to approve the plan, it has been criticised during the consultation period by local parish councils. Coddington Parish Council said it was concerned about the impact on residents during construction, as well as the master plan's closeness to housing and woodland.
But Veronica Dennant, senior lead for business and skills at Newark and Sherwood District Council, argued the plan was a "positive move" due to the creation of construction jobs and a further 529 roles once the distribution centre opened. In a consultation comment, it was also noted "Newark and Sherwood have a growing reputation as a centre for logistics, therefore the £30millionwill help the district to develop as a bigger player".
