Constructive acted as Development Consultant to procure and manage the professional team to deliver a change-of-use planning application from an industrial estate to a mixed-use development.
Project information
- Planning Consent achieved Q4 2019
- Site allocated as employment use within the local plan
- Very active local group in opposition to the development
- Council perception of redevelopment not initially supported due to previous local schemes receiving high numbers of complaints (Homebase & B&Q)
- Management of a ‘tricky' site divided by adopted roads outside of the client’s gift
- Revised allocation had to include an uplift of 25% employment space to achieve a mixed-use designation
- Old York Road (adjacent site) was a designated conservation area during planning determination
