Planning permission for change of use from agricultural to B2 light industrial

Objective:

To achieve full planning permission for an agricultural building to a B2 heavy industrial use.

Proposal:

The client was based in an urban environment beforehand and needed a more rural setting to enable them to grow their business and be more flexible with floor space.  Having appropriate access and wider operating hours away from a residential area were key attributes.

Local Planning Authority:

Tendring District Council

What the consultant Says


We knew the instruction was going to be a challenge as Amobox are quite a heavy industrial user. However, we looked at the application with the recommendation of external consultant noise reports before submitting the application which helped to resolve concerns from Environmental Health and the building's materials. We worked collaboratively with Amobox and the landlord to achieve a full permission with limited conditions on a tight timescale for Amobox.
