Solar PV development

Project scope

an extension of the existing industrial building (for the purpose of medical device manufacturing) on site and alterations to the vehicular entrance and car park in the southeastern portion of the site. The proposed extension of the industrial building will comprise the extension of the building southwards by 10.5m, with the extension to the building having an overall height of c. 9.3m. The extension to the building will result in an increase in gross floor area of 1,375 sq.m. in total, and will accommodate additional medical device manufacturing floor space, corridors, and service areas. PV arrays will be provided at roof level. The proposed alterations to the existing vehicular entrance and car parking area comprise site clearance works, a new visitor vehicle entrance with a set down area and 6 no. visitor parking spaces to the southwest of the existing security hut, and the provision of 8 no. additional parking spaces as an extension of the existing car park. The proposed development also includes associated access arrangements and alterations to existing pedestrian and cycle facilities and fire tender route to accommodate the visitor entrance and extension, lighting, bollards, 1 no. additional ‘visitor’ sign, boundary treatments and barriers, alterations to existing landscaping to facilitate the building extension and visitor entrance / parking, alteration to existing roof PV arrays on the existing building to allow for additional roof ventilation ducting to facilitate the building extension, alterations to underground services, and all associated and ancillary works.
