Importation of 300,000 cubic metres of fill from major infrastructure projects such as Crossrail to increase the height of the acoustic bund around the shooting range
Key Planning Issues:
Case for very special circumstance to justify the volume of fill and height of the bund; visual impact considerations from close, medium and long-distant views; traffic considerations given the circa 25,000 lorry movement over a 3-year period; ecological considerations, including the relocation of species to enable the importation of fill onto existing vegetated areas; drainage considerations given the significant changes in topography and hydrology.
