Bid for partial road closure for Halifax town centre building compound
Developers want to partially close a Halifax town centre road for their works compound.
O&C Management Limited has applied to Calderdale Council seeking planning permission to partially close Shakespeare Street.
It wants to build a secure compound and undertake the necessary groundworks, which will include some resurfacing on what is a cobbled street.
In a supporting statement, the company explains the compound will serve the regeneration work they are doing on a number of properties nearby at Westgate.
It is not a through road and work the company described as “minimal” will be at the bottom, dead end, part of the street.
The street essentially serves the back of a number of commercial premises on the Westgate Arcade, says the applicant.
A black paladin-style fence is proposed for the compound and, as such, does not create a visually physical barrier. The compound will serve the wider regeneration work being undertaken by the company around the Westgate Arcade and wider town centre, it says.
