The following document will highlight the justification for such a development on the proposed site. Proposed Development Retain and complete partially constructed building for use as a training centre/ training hub (office, work & skills centre) for the veteran community. The proposed use will be for the delivery of Project RECCE (Resettlement, Education, Community, Education) a training programme designed to prepare Veterans for their first role in the construction industry. The aim is to assist veterans in transition from service life to civilian life. Summary Nomad Construction Training, is a Community Interest Company (CIC) which has been established for over 2 years as a social enterprise; with profits and assets being used for the public good.
