The new building replaces a tired industrial unit and brings a high quality development to an area that has been undergoing dramatic change over the past few years.

The site is located in an area at risk of flooding and so a key challege was to overcome initial officer and Environment Agency objections.

Third Revolution led the planning process for the scheme. We advised on planning risk, developed and implemented the planning strategy, managed specialist consultants, oversaw the stakeholder consultation process, developed and submitted the planning application and oversaw the post-submission process.

The team submitted amendments to add an additional floor to the consented scheme and worked closely with client and architect team to ensure this could be dealt with via a s73 application rather than new full application.

The site is now complete and occupied.
