Great start to the New Year, with planning permission granted unanimously for two Colleges, with accommodation for 1000 students, and a University Hub. “The main challenges surrounding the project have been delivering a planning permission on time in order to allow the Colleges to open in September 2019” said Joe Ridgeon, Associate with Hedley Planning. “Identifying key issues in relation to potential impacts on Bats and the impact on Heritage Assets have ensured there were no delays to the determination of the application.” “A lot of work went in upfront which has ensured that there is no need for pre-commencement conditions which would have delayed the programme.”
