  Further Successes at Bridgwater Retail Park

  We are delighted to confirm our successes of recent permissions linked to Bridgwater Retail Park, Somerset.

  NJL has acted as Possfund’s primary planning advisor on this site for over five years.  Our most significant roles to date have revolved around the preparation, coordination and monitoring of a hybrid application for comprehensive redevelopment including new retail warehouse units and to enable the completion of vital highways infrastructure (The Leggar Link).  Approved in March 2017, the hybrid application has been adapted through a number of amendment applications (which NJL has submitted), and works have commenced on site via successful discharge of conditions applications (also submitted by NJL).

  Local Plans: Common themes, but no quick fix

  Blog written by Nick Pleasant, Associate Director

  In early 2017 I – optimistically perhaps – suggested 2017 could be the year of meaningful Local Plan progress (see Housing White Paper requirements and MHCLG intervention(s)). But have we seen real or sufficient progress?
