Storage As a self-storage facility it is envisioned that the containers will mostly comprise of house hold items, with a few containers going to trades opting to use the facility for materials as well. Although it is impossible to tell the exact use of the facility in terms of what will be stored. The Terms and conditions of the lease agreement state the “Storer must not store hazardous, dangerous, illegal, stolen, perishable, environmentally harmful or explosive goods.”
No areas outside of the storage containers are designated for use as storage.
Staff The running of the storage facility is to be operated mostly remotely and there won't be any permanent staff on site, there will be maintenance staff visiting the site regularly and also office-based staff working from another location. This will be creating employment of 3 members of staff.
Security The site security will comprise of security cameras, automatic gates operated via pin pad system on entry and sensor on exit and tall industrial fencing,. The site will also be lit using low-level 1200mm high bollard type lighting posts with sensors, to comply with the dark skies policy.
Vehicle movements From our research of similar sized sites it is anticipated that vehicle movements within the facility will be low. Upon completion of the tenant sorting their goods within the Containers it is found that they generally only return once or twice a month to check on the stored items.
We believe that the proposed development is in-keeping with the proposed use of the site and its surrounding areas. Therefore the applicant is hopeful of a swift review of the application to an approval.
