• Shepton Mallet Sewage Treatment Works Wells Road Darshill Shepton Mallet BA4 5FF

  SCC/4013/2022 Submitted 20 Sep 2022 400 yards away

  Wessex Water are proposing to carry out improvement works to Shepton Mallet WRC for the reduction of Phosphorus and Ammonia in the sewage treatment process. The work will be carried out on Operational land and will therefore be constructed under Permitted Development. However, we seek confirmation that the two proposed Motor Control Centre kiosk units (MCC) fall under Wessex Water’s Permitted Development rights. The Glass Reinforced Plastic kiosk units are constructed off-site at Wessex Water’s off site build depot in Salisbury and are fully fitted out with electrical equipment off-site before being taken to the WRC (photos included). They will be brought to site as fully operational units with electrical equipment included as self-contained piece of plant and machinery. This type of installation is often referred to as ‘plug and go’ as it acts as one integrated unit; there is no additional electrical or mechanical fitting required other than connection to the water treatment works and mains electricity.
