TWC/2022/0424 - Site of former Reynolds House/former Boyd House, Ironmasters Way/Boyd Close, Telford Town Centre, Telford, Shropshire

Decision Maker: Planning Committee

Decision status: Refused

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decisions:

The application sought full planning permission for enabling and engineering works comprising of ground remediation, reprofiling, demolition of the existing substation, and the diversion of existing utilities. The works were required in connection with the forthcoming ‘Station Quarter’ redevelopment.

 

A query was raised regarding the traffic issues in the town centre and whether operating hours for the site could be adjusted to quieter times so that business would not suffer from disruption. The Planning Officer stated that the availability of construction workers limited operation hours. To work on Sundays and bank holidays would add to the cost of development. There was a high tech solution to mitigate the impacts of construction with an online booking-in system to alleviate traffic on the highway.

 

Members questioned that while there were dust mitigation measures mentioned in the report, there was no mention of mud. With winter coming up, what measures would be in place for mud?

Officers confirmed that there would be wheel wash facilities at the exit.

 

Upon being put to a vote, it was unanimously:
