Chiltern Vital Berkeley (CVB) has launched a public consultation on plans to construct a significant nuclear and technology park in Gloucestershire, adjacent to the former nuclear power plant at Berkeley. The developer is inviting the public to share their views on the proposals.
Gerry Hughes, project manager for CVB, stated: “We are excited to unveil our proposals and seek the public’s feedback. Some of the businesses we’re talking to have developed technology that is genuinely game changing globally. That’s the scale and the importance of this site into the future.”
Under the proposed scheme, the majority of the existing 1950s and 1960s buildings on the site would be demolished.
“Our vision is to unleash the full power of nuclear and clean energy innovation by creating world-class scientific and research facilities at Berkeley,” Mr Hughes added. “Our plans would deliver significant economic, social and environmental benefits locally and nationally, whilst helping respond to the climate emergency.”
The consultation is open until 18th July. Members of the public can submit their feedback online at berkeleystp.co.uk. Following the conclusion of the consultation period, CVB intends to submit an outline planning application to Stroud District Council.
