Torridge District Council submits revised plans for Appledore Clean Maritime Innovation Centre Torridge District Council has announced the submission of revised plans for the Appledore Clean Maritime Innovation Centre (ACMIC), following a thorough consultation process with the public and stakeholders. The updated application, identified as ref: 1/1179/2023/LA, reflects significant changes based on community feedback and evolving construction cost considerations. Councillor Ken James, Leader of Torridge District Council, commented on the updates: “Whilst this a positive and considered response to public feedback, the revised plans also consider ongoing construction cost inflation. As such, we have looked to improve the efficiency of the building, by optimising the lettable area, reducing ancillary spaces and ensuring that the completed building fully responds to current and future market requirements. We strongly believe that these amendments ensure that we have the right plans for the right location, which we hope will put Appledore and Torridge at the forefront of innovation and investment in clean maritime energy.” The updated plans for the ACMIC are now available for public viewing on the Torridge District Council Portal. The revised scheme is scheduled to be presented to the planning committee for final approval in the Autumn. #innovation #maritime #marine #ISeaSMEs #SOCSEA24 https://lnkd.in/ekUREQGg

Our Director of Real Estate, UK, Madeline Sillence, recently joined Building Magazine and other local industry leaders for the latest ‘Building the future think tank’ roundtable to discuss what the UK’s new government should focus on to boost construction in the northwest. Together, the group explored some of the challenges that may lie ahead, including uncertainty of transport infrastructure, the impact of devolution, funding for retrofit at scale and more. Madeline also comments on the importance of addressing the skills gap and the need to promote the wide variety of opportunities available within the sector. She says: “The industry needs to do more to drive awareness of the opportunities available within construction. There are few industries where the diversity of careers is immense – technical, professional and digital careers are achievable. But if you talk to children and young adults in schools and colleges about careers in construction, how many of them would be aware of this?’’ Madeline adds: “The Northwest has some of the most socially deprived areas in the country – we need to work on improving the aspiration within these areas and promote the diverse range of opportunities available across the industry.” Read the article: https://bit.ly/4eVjxM6 #constructionuk #devolution #government #skills
In the summer Building's Building the Future Think Tank headed to Manchester just days before the general election. The purpose of this trip? To host a roundtable, chaired by Building’s editorial director Chloe McCulloch, focused on what the sector needs to do in order to capitalise on and drive potential policy decisions, and attempted to discern where the industry requires support from government and in which areas it can drive change itself.

California High-Speed Rail Authority Releases Final Environmental Document for Palmdale to Burbank Section LOS ANGELES, Calif. –The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) has released the project-level Final Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIR/EIS) for an additional project section in Southern California. The document covers the approximately 31-to 38-mile-long Palmdale to Burbank Project Section, connecting the Antelope Valley to the San Fernando Valley. With the release of this Palmdale to Burbank Project Section Final EIR/EIS, the Authority begins the final step for completing environmental clearance for the full Phase 1 California High-Speed Rail System, connecting downtown San Francisco to downtown Los Angeles. The Palmdale to Burbank Project Section will connect two key population centers in Los Angeles County by linking future multimodal transportation hubs in Palmdale and Burbank at speeds that would support a 13-minute nonstop travel time. The section will also provide a critical link between the Bakersfield to Palmdale and the Burbank to Los Angeles project sections, crossing some of the most complex mountainous terrain along the statewide system. The Palmdale to Burbank Project Section Final EIR/EIS and associated documents will be available to the public on May 24, 2024. The Palmdale to Burbank Project Section Final EIR/EIS is available online in PDF at the Authority’s website (www.hsr.ca.gov). You can request an electronic copy by calling (800) 630-1039. The documents may also be viewed at the Authority's Sacramento and Los Angeles offices and at local libraries in Los Angeles County, near the project section. For questions regarding the documents or accessing copies, please call (213) 457-8420 or email palmdale_burbank@hsr.ca.gov. The Final EIR/EIS includes analysis of all six build alternatives and the No Project Alternative. The preferred alternative runs along SR14A and is approximately 38 miles. It will partially use the existing Metrolink right-of-way to the extent possible for approximately three miles in the San Fernando Valley. The preferred alternative includes four tunnels that total approximately 28 miles, with one approximately 13 miles long and another approximately 12 miles long. Trains operating on the SR14A alignment would be underground through the community of Acton, the Angeles National Forest and the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. SR14A is also underground where it crosses the Pacific Crest Trail, avoiding impacts to the trail.
