Application Details
Description

The proposed development includes the demolition of all existing buildings and structures within the site. This will include an asbestos survey and removal of any asbestos in an appropriate manner. Explosive demolition is likely to be used for the two 6-storey concrete framed mill buildings on the site. Depending on the precise phasing and approach taken the demolition process is expected to take between around 40 and 65 weeks. The demolition itself is a single project. It may be that planning permission is obtained for an alternative use in due course. However, the demolition is not dependent on planning permission being obtained for another use. The demolition is necessary due to the high cost of securing the site and structures on a vacant state. The proposed development of this EIA screening request does not include the erection of any other buildings or hard standing surfaces.
