McLaren’s new factory gets local consent

The plans for the new McLaren Production Centre have been cleared by the Planning Committee of Woking Borough Council. "We are delighted that the scheme attracted significant support from the key statutory consultees and from the Borough Council," the team said. "Owing to the nature of the application, the decision will now be forwarded to the Secretary of State as required in such cases, prior to the anticipated issue of a consent notice from the local authority."
