  3. Decided72662

    Non-material amendment following grant of planning permission 71622 (Installation of flood gates):The moveable flood gates across the northern and southern elevations of HGB ? which were approved via the full planning application? should withstand a flood level of up to around the same level as the HGB parapet. Therefore the HGB requires a series of cut-outs in the upstream and downstream sides which will enable floodwater to flow across the road surface and be held be-hind the flood gates in an extreme flood scenario. The installation of a series of railed cut-outs in the upstream and downstream parapets will enable the flood gates to operate as intended.

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Bury Metropolitan Borough Council, across all dates currently available. They are a partial dataset, rather than an authority-wide performance measure. The date range does not establish continuous historical coverage.

The approval percentage is approved records divided by approved plus refused records. Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded. No percentage is shown until there is an approved or refused record.
