Important Notice - New s61 Construction Permission – 12th September to 8th October 2025
We wanted to let you know that new out-of-hours permissions have been granted for our works on the new Velindre Cancer Centre. Shared Regulatory Services have approved new Section 61 construction permission from 12th September to 8th October.
This updated permission is focussed on finalised the reinforced concrete frame and essential shield protection concrete block works.
Shield protection concrete block activities form a key part of the structural floor build-up process and involve mechanically fixed blocks. These works are classed as low-impact and are approved during out-of-hours periods under the current consent.
There will be no further out-of-hours working permitted under Section 61 for November.
Permitted OUT OF HOURS working:
• Monday to Thursday:
o 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM – Non-noisy works only
(e.g., Shield Protection blocks, rebar, form work, concrete, waterproofing, liftings)

Special measures for shield protection blocks works (out of hours):
Out-of-hours work will comply with the following:
• Acoustic protection required for cutting, especially near Hollybush Estate
• Prioritise interior works
• Focus on ground floor activities; avoid ceiling works involving cranes
• Use lateral protection where necessary
Lateral protection is any bracing temporary or permanent that provides support to resist forces and deflections.
