Description

The site is owned and occupied by Instalcom Limited who are a utility contractor that undertakes the excavation and installation of underground services for the provision of Fibre Optic Cables, Electric Power Cable and Water Mains.

Borehamwood Industrial Park comprises two large warehouse buildings (Unit 1 and Unit 2) and attached office building to Unit 1 which was rebuilt in 2013. The site is securely contained within 5 acres with level surfaced yard. The site is located within a designated employment area and so the immediate vicinity of the site is characterised by industrial and commercial uses. There are a residential dwellings neighbouring the site, any impact of the site on these is mitigated by the acoustic fencing at the rear and the established vegetation on the boundaries. The operating hours approved with lawful consent for the site allow operations from 6am – 10pm.

The warehouses are of steel portal frame construction with low level brick and high profiled metal cladding under a pitched roof incorporating roof lights. The warehouses all benefit from roller shutter doors and Unit 2 in addition has a loading canopy. Both warehouses have an eaves height of 5.6m.
