Demolition works to begin at Bradley Lane, Newton Abbot

Planning permission was granted for the site at the end of November, which sought the approval of the demolition of six buildings and associated structures within the Bradley Mills Site to prepare the land for future development.

Teignbridge District Council have announced plans for demolition works to begin at Bradley Lane in Newton Abbot.

Planning permission was granted for the site at the end of November, which sought the approval of the demolition of six buildings and associated structures within the Bradley Mills Site to prepare the land for future development. Approval in principle for the demolition works was granted by Full Council on 30 July 2024.

The demolition work is essential to release this key site for redevelopment and is a great opportunity for Newton Abbot to bring a former industrial site back into use, maintaining the vibrancy of our community and improving the wider economy.

Activity has already started onsite to prepare for the clearance. All utilities have been safely disconnected, and local ecology has been preserved and will be rehoused in specially designed habitats.

Demolition work will commence from Monday 6 January 2025 and will be taking place from 9am – 5pm weekdays and 8am-1pm on Saturdays. No work will be taking place on Sundays.

Residents in the local area have been contacted and advised of the works, expected noise levels and other environmental considerations.

It is anticipated the works will be completed by the end of March 2025.

Teignbridge District Council has worked to ensure any ecological impact is kept to a minimum.
