Challenge
The initial challenge was to secure a new access to the strategic site and then to expand the area of designated employment land. We then needed to secure a flexible employment consent which addressed the local planning authorities principle parameters.
The application required a multi-discipline approach producing an Environmental Statement to support the planning application. We lobbied all stakeholders to secure the development suitable for the market. Once the outline was secured, acting on behalf of a developer we then needed to tailor the outline, within the approved parameters, to specific operator needs.
We needed to achieve development plots within a strategic infrastructure framework to allow shovel ready sites for the market. Finally, we secured detailed consent for over 1,000,000ft2 of speculative logistics space.
