  • P21/S0464/TPO Granted

    Technology Centre, Bozedown Drive, Whitchurch Hill, RG8 7QR

    New electricity cable run is being placed around the site to update the old existing runs. The work is being carried out by contractors on behalf of the electricity board and BP Castrol. The works are being carried out by registered contractors and overseen by a project board and an Arboricultural Consultant. The remit is to retain all trees on site and to not disturb any tree roots greater than 25mm. Any roots discovered during this project of less than 25mm maybe cut back to allow for the pipe network to be installed. Trail pits have been dug and revealed a soil level of 500mm before starting to become clay. This is also confirmed by some of the works which showed that the soil then changing to heavy clay. It is unlikely that tree roots will be in this clay formation and therefore it is only the top 500mm that will be of concern.
