The planning permission was for 5,416m buildings and 1,490m open sided structures, the laying out of an open sales area, car parking areas, service roads and service areas, improvements to adjacent highway, and improvements to on-site surface water drainage, including the provision of a swale. The planning permission was the result of months of tough negotiating with the planners. First, a Lawful Use Certificate for an open retail use had to be gained, to prove that more than just basic horticultural goods could lawfully be sold. The views of the proposed buildings from high points in the nearby Cotswolds were of great importance to the locals. Traffic generation was controversial because of the proximity of a nearby motorway junction, so the County Highway Authority and the national Highways Agency were both consultees. They did not always sing from the same hymn sheet. The Highway Agency were eventually persuaded by carefully constructed arguments on traffic generation that existing congestion at the motorway junction would not be worsened. Provision of nearby bus shelters was a big sweetener locally. Last but not least, there was detailed negotiation with the planners on the goods to be sold. All matters were eventually resolved and planning permission granted.
