Trentbarton has proposed demolishing its bus depot on Meadow Road in Derby as part of its long-term redevelopment plans. The company, which has been in operation for over 100 years, plans to demolish three buildings that no longer meet modern standards. The structures are described as outdated, poorly insulated, and containing non-notifiable asbestos.
The plans, now submitted to Derby City Council, outline that the depot will remain operational during the demolition process. Trentbarton’s fleet will continue to operate from Meadow Road while redevelopment takes place.
Previously, the company had sought approval to relocate its depot to a larger site in Stores Road, in the north-east of the city, but the permission appears to have lapsed due to a lack of development.
A decision on the latest demolition proposal is expected later this year.
