Royal Mail – Brighton Delivery Office
Update on Brighton Delivery Office:
A full application for the Royal Mail Brighton Delivery Office was approved by committee in September 2024. Since then, we have been on site making preparatory ecological work. Royal Mail will move the majority of its Brighton and Hove operations from city centre sites to this new location once completed.
Royal Mail has now made a Material Amendment Application to make some small and positive changes to our proposals ensure the site operation works as efficiently as possible. An earlier minor amendment application has been approved by the council to remove the vehicle maintenance facility from the proposals.
The image below shows the changes to the original application:
You can see the notable amendments below:
- Changes to the location of the HGV loading/unloading bays
- An improved accessible pedestrian access to the south at Vale Avenue
- Substation relocation
- Improved green screening across the site
- Amendments to the location of fleet parking (the amount of parking remains the same)
- Changes to roof solar panels, green roof, and roof lights
These amendments do not change the effect on Patcham residents.
The fundamentals of the scheme remain as approved by planning committee in September 2024.
Our proposed changes will mean:
- Reduced noise impact
- Improved on site biodiversity
- No change in traffic levels
