Project Overview
AMA provided highways support to a planning application seeking the change of use from an approved and constructed A1 Retail Unit to a D2 Gym in Stafford.
The site had already been constructed under a previous planning consent (2011) and had remained vacant for a period of time, thus justifying the use change to ensure its occupancy and maintain the complimentary mixed-use development of the edge of town centre location.
The application successfully gained planning consent.
Key Inputs / Outcomes
- AMA prepared preferred alignment drawings for each option.
- Each drawing considered the existing land levels based on a topographical survey with recommendations made for each option including long sections and cross sections.
- The options included revised alignments to reduce construction costs and minimise any earth move requirements / formal construction.
- The options were well received by the client, particularly due to the cost savings identified by each option which will be reviewed by the estate for potential future implementation.
