New roof for Telford Magistrates Court
MoJ officials have asked planners to confirm that it can carry out the work without lodging a full planning application.
A new roof with safety barriers and maintenance ladders is on the drawing board for Telford Magistrates Court.
The Ministry of Justice has lodged with Telford & Wrekin Council for a like-for-like replacement of the roof of the court building at Telford Square, Hall Park Way.
MoJ officials have asked planners to confirm that it can carry out the work without lodging a full planning application.
“The scheme proposes to replace the existing roof using like-for-like materials and visually will remain the same,” planning agent AHR Building Consultancy has told officials.
“New guardrail safety barriers and external ladders are proposed to enhance access to the roof areas for maintenance purposes and the barriers will not exceed the existing height of the original building.”
A consultation period has been launched after which planners will assess whether the work can be certified as lawful and proceed without a full application.
