PJA’s Joint Managing Director Nigel Millington recently gave evidence on behalf of H2 Land in support of this proposed Crematorium.
Despite obtaining a clean bill of health from both Worcestershire County Council and Birmingham City Council highways teams at the application stage, permission was refused by Bromsgrove District Council on highway safety grounds.
The hearing session was well attended by local interested parties and the Inspector invited evidence on the capacity of the local highway network, the impact of slow moving hearses on highway safety, the implications for locally-based emergency vehicles and potential conflicts with local school traffic.
The Inspector concurred with Nigel’s evidence and the Appeal was allowed, with costs awarded to the Appellant.
