Ambitious new plans for a UK version of the Mullin Automotive Museum have been submitted after the initial designs were withdrawn following multiple objections.
Peter Mullin, owner of the famed Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California, first applied for planning permission for a hotel-and-museum complex in November 2017.
The facility was to be called The Mullin at Great Tew and was due to consist of a £150 million development on a brownfield site near Chipping Norton in West Oxfordshire, complete with museum, demonstration track, pavilion and 28 holiday lodges.
Many enthusiasts were hugely excited by the proposal, which would have seen up to 200 classic cars housed at the museum.
However more than 250 objections were made, many of them by locals living near to the proposed site, and the first application was withdrawn in September.
Now, though, new designs have been drawn up by world-famous architect Norman Foster’s Foster + Partners firm and submitted to West Oxfordshire District Council.
