Recent years have witnessed changing demands on suppliers of office space in UK cities, with occupiers increasingly seeking shared working environments and improved social amenities for the workplace. As a number of larger companies look to relocate operations to regional hubs, cities such as Manchester, with its base of young professionals and sought-after culture, are set to benefit from what some have dubbed a co-working revolution.

On behalf of Jury’s Inn, NJL Consulting has submitted a full planning application for a new hotel at Broad Street, Birmingham.

The proposed development will bring a new hotel offer to Birmingham City Centre with potential to be the first NYX new-build in the United Kingdom. NYX brand presents an innovative and exciting approach to the hotel industry. It recognises culture as being ‘the soul of the city’. For this reason, NYX hotel is considered to be a happening hub of urban culture.

We are delighted to have submitted a planning application, on behalf of NewRiver REIT UK Ltd (‘NewRiver’), for the change of use of underused floorspace at Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, Hastings, to enable occupation by The Gym Group.

As we covered in our start of year blog, consultation on the new draft of the GMSF has begun and will run for a period of 8-weeks until 18th March 2019.

One of the key questions for this round of public consultation will be whether the Mayor’s re-written plan addresses concerns over loss of Green Belt land, and ultimately whether it strikes the right balance between development locations.

So how does the consultation draft stack up?
