Weapons Manufacturer Gets Approval to Complete Building at Monmouthshire Base after 15 Years

A WEAPONS manufacturer has been given the go-ahead to complete a building at its Monmouthshire base 15 years after work started. 
BAE Systems was granted planning permission for a new building at its Glascoed factory, between Usk and Pontypool, in 2009.  
That permission was for a building smaller than one first approved in 2007 though construction work, which wasn’t completed, didn’t start until after the revised application was submitted and approved by Monmouthshire County Council. 
Its planning department has now approved changes to the 2009 permission for the reinforced concrete building that will be similar to the one approved in 2009 and still smaller than that planned in 2007. 
The new plans include a canopy which would cover a walkway surrounding the building. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
