Gas Pressure Reduction System
We are working with Cadent to design and relocate the Gas Pressure Reduction System (GPRS), which is currently located on the old gas works site. This will enable housing delivery on the site.
The proposed new location of the Gas Pressure Reduction System is on land to the south of the active Hill Road Allotments.
Cadent submitted a planning application for this in February 2022, with the reference 22/00239/FUL.
We granted planning permission in May 2022.
