Keeping you informed: planning application for remediation works at former gasworks site at Bristol Road, Gloucester, GL2 5YA

Message from NGPL Community Relations

Further to my previous correspondence, I am writing to let you know that we have submitted our planning application for remediation work on the site of our former gasworks on Bristol Road, Gloucester.

Activity on site to date

As you may recall, over May/June 2021, we undertook some initial routine site investigation works to assess the ground conditions on our land. The findings from these works have informed our planning application which we submitted to Gloucester City Council on 21 December 2021. This is an application for us to carry out remediation work that will improve the environmental condition of the site so that it can be brought back into future beneficial use. 

Next steps 

Subject to Gloucester City Council granting planning consent, we anticipate the remediation work starting in April and lasting for around three months.

This phase of work will include remediation work to clean up the land and remove materials associated with the site’s former use as a gasworks, followed by the reinstatement of the site to the original ground level.

Keeping everyone safe

As a responsible neighbour, we have procedures in place to ensure we minimise any disruption to the local community.  We have robust plans for mitigating any odour, dust and noise associated with the work due to take place and we will be monitoring these to ensure that we are working within safe limits. The health and safety of the public, our neighbours and our workers remains our top priority when undertaking any work.  

As the pandemic continues to shift, we are remaining vigilant in maintaining covid-safe procedures.
