Site Allocations and Policies (Incorporating IP-One Area Action Plan) Development Plan Document (DPD) Main Modifications

N/A

By way of introduction I act on behalf of my client HMCTS who occupy the building next door.
My client has brought to my attention the sign that has been installed on the post in front of the building. Whilst we are writing on behalf of HMCTS I should just state that there are specific stake holders within HMCTS such as the Judiciary who also have concerns about the
proposals. My client HMCTS does not intend to stand in the way of the concept and the general improvements being proposed but rather express their concerns surrounding the development that could potentially have a vital impact on them.
I understand a planning application has not been submitted so I would be grateful if we could work collaboratively to address some concerns my client currently has surrounding the development.
In summary, the initial key observations / concerns are as follows:
* As with any development/construction activity it will be produce noise, dust, vibration and other disturbances. This will have a vital impact on the courts as there can be no disruptions whist hearings are ongoing.
* Construction deliveries, including plant ect, should not disrupt the court or access to it.
* During the construction phase there will need to be a pre-agreed time frames for noisy works to avoid disruption to court sittings.
* Please can you confirm if you intend to install windows on the side which overlooks the courts? If so, my client has concerns it will overlook there hearing rooms.
I would be grateful if you could review the above and we can discuss how my client concerns will be addressed?
I look forward to hear from you.
