Reviewed build intelligence

What the documents establish

Government document review

Final permission dated 17 August amends the partly implemented parent 17/813, extended by 23/836. This is remaining and altered industrial work within the parent site, not a wholly new plant.

4 official documents inspected · Checked 2026-09-07 · Official file index

Final grant covers revisions and completion of the partly built plant

Final amendment permission within the existing industrial project

What the evidence says
The 17 August grant describes retention of as-built elevations and gates, completion of a covered loading area, altered heights and floor areas, a weighbridge, bund and yard changes. Condition 4 carries forward the parent 17/813, extended by 23/836, including its expiry.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Envelope and yard contractors should establish the remaining package against the parent works and avoid treating every described building as new supply.

What is not established
A present-day site inspection, independently matched commencement and completed revised works were not reviewed.

The FI drawing identifies paused work and unfinished building areas

Applicant-reported construction status in the FI drawing

What the evidence says
The construction-status drawing distinguishes completed production, storage and airlock areas from blue areas still to be constructed or revised. It reports paused works at buildings 4 to 7, an unstarted processing-shed extension at building 9, and building 8 still to be completed subject to elevation alterations. These are statements in the June-submitted drawing.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Steelwork, cladding and industrial-door enquiries can focus on the unfinished or revised areas rather than assume the whole plant remains unbuilt.

What is not established
Progress after the June submission, contractor appointments and unplaced orders are not established.

The yard drainage proposal needs an agreed implementation design

Granted SuDS strategy with further detailed agreement required

What the evidence says
The FI SuDS drawing routes runoff from the extended concrete yard through a grass swale to a proposed soakaway, with a controlled high-level outlet. Final-grant condition 12 requires an agreed implementation report and maintenance plan, including the 1-in-100-year event, 30% climate allowance and 10% urban creep.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Civil and landscape teams need to coordinate yard falls, swale inlets, storage and maintenance access before construction.

What is not established
Written acceptance of the implementation design, final hydraulic sizing and installed drainage performance are not established.

The original additional contribution was removed before final grant

July correction reflected in the August final schedule

What the evidence says
Order DO67020 removes original decision condition 2. The accompanying 29 July memorandum explains that overall floor area reduced against parent 17/813 and that the parent contribution had been paid; the additional calculation should therefore be nil. The final schedule renumbers the subsequent conditions.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Commercial review should use the operative amended schedule, including its renumbered civil and environmental conditions.

What is not established
This finding does not establish satisfaction of other compliance conditions or authorise additional scope.
