Supporting Mission Specific Training on Salisbury Plain
Fri 13th Jan 2012
Wiltshire Council have recently granted Planning Consent for the erection of fifty civilian population compounds across the Salisbury Plain Training Area, as part of support infrastructure enhancements to facilitate Mission Specific Training (MST) Exercises that are conducted on the Training Area twice a year.
Each compound consists of two ISO Shipping Containers surrounded by 60 metres of a demountable hoarding system, to represent civilian compounds that are currently found in theatre.
Landmarc’s Project Office managed the process of obtaining consent via twenty-eight separate applications, each of which required an Habitat Regulations Assessment; Statement of Cultural Heritage Significance; Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment and finally, a Public Access and Recreation Statement.
The project demonstrates Landmarc’s continued support, enhancing and improving training support infrastructure across the Defence Training Estate.
