  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).

  Black Friday - Friend or Foe?

  Black Friday was brought over to the UK from America by Amazon five years ago as its customers began to realise that the US shoppers had the best deals. 

  In the UK, Black Friday had been led by the three A’s, Amazon, Apple and Asda Wal-Mart.  Five years on and the phenomenon has really taken off.  But is it a US import that will prove as disastrous to our native habitat as the Grey Squirrel and Mink?

  NJL Success for NewRiver Retail

  NJL recently gained planning consent for a new Costa drive through restaurant in Clough Road Retail Park Hull on behalf of New River Retail.  The consent follows another success at the retail park for the amalgamation of two of the retail units, relaxation of goods restrictions and creation of an outdoor tent display area to facilitate occupation by GO Outdoors.

  Working with New River for the past 11 months at Clough Road NJL have overcome issues including flood risk, the retail tests of sequential site location and impact to help with the rejuvenation of the retail park.

  The Great Supermarket Squeeze

  It has been hard to miss the recent headlines about the changing market dynamics for supermarkets, with falling sales and profits for the ‘Big Four’ supermarkets and significant growth for the German discount supermarkets and high end brands.

  Commentators believe that this is the result of the squeeze in household incomes and changes to the way that we shop for food, so that people are now more budget conscious and the trend is for people to visit a number of shops for different products, rather than undertaking the traditional weekly shop.
