Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

The proposed work comprises siting an additional steel storage container adjacent to the existing storage container. The proposed container dimensions are 6m x 2.4m x 2.6m high, to be placed immediately next to the existing container. Colour green to match the existing metal cladding on the building and the existing container. There is no loss of parking spaces, no new access required. The container will sit directly on the ground, not requiring foundations nor hard standing/concrete base, therefore there is no effect on nearby trees. Surface water will run off the container to soak away in the existing permeable ground. The proposed container is for storage of tents and other equipment used for Scouting activities.
