FUTURE PROOFING THE ABILITY TO BREW OUR BRILLIANT BEERS
WHAT IS OUR VISION?
A modern, state-of-theart brewery will help us achieve our sustainability ambitions and deliver significant environmental benefits. Ultimately, future proofing our ability to brew our brilliant beers for future generations and continue our role serving the community for many years to come.
BENEFITS
This significant investment will deliver the following benefits:
→ A £40m investment into a new brewery
→ Create a modern, state-of-the-art new brewery to help drive our sustainability ambitions and deliver significant environmental benefits
→ Continue to support employment opportunities in Bury St Edmunds by retaining our brewing in the town following our investment in our new distribution centre set to open this year
→ Improve our brewing operations by creating connections to our adjacent distribution centre and reducing the number of HGVs in the town centre
THE PROPOSALS
→ The proposed site is located on the northern edge of the Suffolk Business Park extension, which is an allocated employment site in the West Suffolk Local Plan.
→ The brewery is intended to contain a brewhouse, brewing operations and ancillary offices along with a service yard, car parking and substantial areas of landscaping.
→ The service yard will allow the brewery to efficiently and effectively link into the facilities of the existing distribution centre adjacent to the site.
→ The fence between existing service yard servicing the distribution centre will be removed to join with the new brewery.
→ The brewery will be built to a maximum height of 14 metres to the ridge to accommodate the functional uses within the building, including storage and fermentation tanks that require specific heights.
→ Chimneys and flues form part of the brewing operation and are required to terminate at least 3m above the surrounding roof structure to discharge efficiently.
