Project Description

Planning permission was granted by Colchester Borough Council in January 2021 for a ventilation/extraction system at 3 High Street Colchester. The application required comprehensive technical documentation to address the council’s concerns regarding noise impact, visual amenity, and compliance with historic town center policies in this location.

The approval was subject to detailed conditions requiring adherence to submitted drawings, including elevational plans, block plans, and roof plans that demonstrated appropriate equipment positioning. Key documentation included acoustic assessments and materials specifications to ensure the installation would not adversely impact the character of Colchester’s historic commercial district. The successful outcome demonstrates the importance of thorough environmental impact analysis and detailed technical drawings when proposing mechanical plant in conservation-sensitive town center locations.
