We were pleased to hear that Grundon Waste Management secured planning permission yesterday for their new vehicle depot at Woodlands Lodge in Bishop's Stortford. Entran previously secured a new access for this site under an application to demolish the existing B&B and build a new hotel; however, the needs of Grundon's fleet of waste vehicles are very different from those of a hotel so the design and operation of the access were again under close scrutiny. Entran secured a positive recommendtion from the highway authority and advised on appropriate highways and transport planning conditions.
