We have obtained a Certificate of Lawful Proposed Use or Development (CLOPUD) from Walsall Council in respect of the proposed use of redundant industrial buildings in Bloxwich (Walsall) as a pyrolysis plant to convert biofuels and other suitable feedstocks into clean gas that would be directly imported into the grid. This follows our advice to the applicant that the considerable cost of submitting a planning application could be avoided by adopting such an approach.

We are now instructed to obtain planning permission for the part demolition and residential conversion/extension of a locally listed former pub building within the administrative area of the London Borough of Barnet.
