  GMSF 2019: The right direction for Manchester?

  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?

  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).
