Planning application

North Oxfordshire Academy Drayton Road Banbury OX16 0UD

Granted Cherwell 26/01372/DEM Prior Approval - Demolition

Works: Demolition

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Demolition is required because the existing sectional concrete chimney has become obsolete following the proposed heating plant refurbishment. The new boiler system will discharge via roof-level flues, meaning the existing chimney is no longer necessary.

As published by the council, reference 26/01372/DEM
