About outline applications
How this application type works
An outline application tests the principle of developing a site before the detail is worked up. Some or all of the particulars, such as appearance, layout, scale, access and landscaping, are held back as reserved matters for later approval. Permission at outline stage does not by itself allow building to start; the reserved matters must be approved first.

The proposed development includes the demolition of all existing buildings and structures within the site. This will include an asbestos survey and removal of any asbestos in an appropriate manner. Explosive demolition is likely to be used for the two 6-storey concrete framed mill buildings on the site. Depending on the precise phasing and approach taken the demolition process is expected to take between around 40 and 65 weeks. The demolition itself is a single project. It may be that planning permission is obtained for an alternative use in due course. However, the demolition is not dependent on planning permission being obtained for another use. The demolition is necessary due to the high cost of securing the site and structures on a vacant state. The proposed development of this EIA screening request does not include the erection of any other buildings or hard standing surfaces.
