Overview
Planning consent was obtained for the construction of a single steel framed industrial unit on a piece of brownfield land on Hawkins Lane, Burton upon Trent.
A condition of the approval was for a Phase I and Phase II site investigation to be carried out on the site and be approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to commencement of the development.
