Wheatfield Under croft planning permission granted

[fabienleclerq]

Wish the distillery would **** off out of town, we could have a great development with the land they take up. Always thought some rich entrepreneur would buy them out and Tynecastle village would be born.

Think they've been pretty accommodating to the club (community pitch etc)and probably done us a favour buying the old school etc.

Sorry if already posted but didn't have time to check as in work, but the response to planning permission being granted includes the following in the extended planning report:

 

 

e) Health and Safety To the north and north west of the application site lie a distillery and a factory. Both the distillery and the factory are identified as Major Hazard Sites and as such have hazardous substances consent. The proximity of Tynecastle stadium to these sites is such that the application site falls within the consultation zone and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is a statutory consultee.

 

The HSE consultation response raises no objection to the proposal, subject to the recommended condition which stipulates that' the use of the building shall cease upon the completion and occupation of the redeveloped main stand (in the event that the main stand is redeveloped) or, in any event, by no later than 3 years from the date of the grant of planning permission'.

 

If the Hazardous Substance Consent for the distillery were to be modified such that the consultation zones were to change, circumstances could be created where the condition is no longer required. The application of the recommended condition does not preclude the possibility of the submission of a section 42 planning application to amend (or potentially) remove the planning condition in the future.

 

Subject to the recommended condition the proposal will not have any detrimental impact on health and safety.

 

 

 

- So if the distillery were to move it's hazardous material storage area and adjust it's boundaries for such, then the HSE could re-evaluate an the undercroft development could become permanent.

I might be overly optimistic but what I'm inferring from this wording is that the HSE fully expect our new main stand to gain planning permission and to be built and completed with changing rooms etc fitted out in no more than 3 years. This suggest to me that they either have no objections to it or that any concerns have already been addressed and they won't be trying to block things. This would be excellent news.

Was around today when they were finishing off the doorway. Got asked a few times how to get to the shop so this is going to make it a lot easier for folk re parking etc as the McLeod St entrance is a nightmare at the moment..

and the doorway looks big enough for those buying XXXX/L shirts, well done once again Queen Anne
