A DECISION on plans for a huge distribution hub on green belt land in south Warrington is set to be made in December.

The employment site – which would be named Six56 Warrington – would be located next to junction 20 of the M6 and junction nine of the M56 in Lymm.

As reported in January, the public inquiry into the plans was adjourned again.

It resumed, and concluded, in June.

A Warrington Borough Council spokesman said: “Following the completion of the public inquiry relating to Six56 Warrington, we hope to have an outcome before the end of this year.”

The Planning Inspectorate has confirmed a report has now been written and sent to the Secretary of State, who ‘it is hoped’ will issue a decision by mid-December.
