Hereford Voice Posted December 2, 2019 Report Posted December 2, 2019 Plans have been submitted by the owners of Play Planet in Widemarsh Street Hereford for the proposed change of use to D2 (Soft-play) of central section of sub-divided Industrial Unit. (former Vision Gelpack Premises, Faraday Road, Hereford). It is understood that Play Planet have been looking for larger premises in Hereford for a couple of years in which to move Play Planet and expand and if approved will create an additional 25 jobs. The proposal is to change the use of the two central bays (1028m2 plus ancillary first floor offices) of the former industrial premises. The application building has been vacant since March 2019 following the former user entering into administration in March of this year. The building dates from the post-war era and requires significant investment to bring it up to current building regulation standards. In addition to maintaining existing jobs at Play Planet, the proposal would ultimately create around 25 positions, also a range of spin-off opportunities for associated businesses which might benefit from a presence at such as facility. Planning Application P194006/F 1
Victor Wright Posted December 2, 2019 Report Posted December 2, 2019 I hope they get planning granted, make good use of this empty unit
Denise Lloyd Posted December 5, 2019 Report Posted December 5, 2019 Excellent idea hope planning goes flying through!
twowheelsgood Posted December 5, 2019 Report Posted December 5, 2019 Flying though planning?!! Never happens, unless you happen to be a councillor or a close relative or friend of one and, even then, although normal policies that us mere mortals are subjected to are set aside, speed of determination is never high on the agenda. 1
Victor Wright Posted December 8, 2019 Report Posted December 8, 2019 Surely this is more or less a tick box exercise
Alex Posted December 18, 2019 Report Posted December 18, 2019 This is an ideal location for this type of business. I also would be pleased to see this planning approved.
Frank Smith Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 This is a good idea and will reenergise this old factory unit
