Decision details
Hereford Enterprise Zone – granting of necessary easements to Power Distribution for cable and access rights at Plot N24, North Magazine, Rotherwas.
Decision Maker: Delivery Director – Property Services
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Plot N24 was sold to NMITE in May 2021 in
order to build their new specialist facilities to link students to
businesses. As part of this sale it was agreed that the HEZ would
arrange for a power supply to the site. Approval for works which
included the new RMU on Plot N24 was given by the Director for
Economy and Place on 1 March 2021.
As this is an RMU with a transformer for a single user then WPD do
not require a land transfer but do need, as always , rights of
access to allow them to maintain and repair the equipment before
they energise that equipment and hence the site. Now that
installation work has been completed, the relevant easements need
to be progressed.
The Council will be providing rights of access to WPD on its land
to the cables which run in a utility trench under the walkway at
the back of the Shell Store. The Council will also be providing
rights of access to WPD along the private roads it owns linking up
the site to the public highway.
