Commercial

We provide advice to a wide range of clients on a broad variety of commercial projects including:

  • hotel and leisure;
  • business/office developments;
  • industrial premises/warehousing and distribution.
  • casinos

These are often schemes of a significant scale which raise complex planning issues. We are able to draw on our network of other professionals in related disciplines to provide a multi-disciplinary approach where that is required.

 
Case Studies

In addition to the submission of planning applications and appeals, we also provide ongoing planning advice to Maple Grove Developments.

* Steven Abbott Associates also acts for this company, which is co-owned by Maple Grove.
Makro

Steven Abbott Associates is retained by Makro. The company is a leader in wholesale warehousing facilities for the use of professional/business members. We have worked with Makro’s team in securing planning permission for the modernisation and extension of its Rayleigh premises, in Essex. Architects Leach Rhodes Walker undertook all design and project management responsibilities.

This involved major extensions to the premises (20%); in addition, the construction of a car park canopy (a new concept in the UK) and several revisions to a planning obligation.

We are also advising the company on its extant planning permission for offices in Eccles, Greater Manchester
