The following update has been received from Tim Williams, Community Engagement Manager, Agratas Ltd.
"The Agratas site already benefits from planning permission granted under a Local Development Order. Somerset Council have approved our compliance application that confirms our plans for Building One and ancillary development align with that planning permission.
This follows a busy year of engagement with the local community and with local businesses, including our first events with local residents and with students at Bridgwater & Taunton College. We also recently held our Supplier Engagement Day alongside our delivery partner Sir Robert McAlpine and were delighted to have met over 300 people from local businesses to hear about opportunities to work with us. We were delighted to see recognition in the press for Chilton Polden’s own Leather & Lace Bar & Grill team who are expanding their business to supply local food on the Agratas site.
The traffic restrictions on Puriton Hill associated with our site will be lifted on 19 December for the festive period, resuming on 10 January. The team are working as quickly as possible and we appreciate everyone’s support while this essential grid connection is installed.
Initial works for Building One are progressing well on site, and we look forward to sharing further updates on progress over the next few months.
If your residents have queries or feedback, the best way for them share it with us is via email at CommunityUK@Agratas.net"
