The Gym Group

The Gym Group, trading as The Gym, is an experienced operator specialising in providing affordable, high-spec 24 hour gyms, with flexible membership options. Firstplan were instructed to obtain planning permission for change of use from Class A1-A5 to Class D2,  together with shopfront alterations, at a ground floor unit with five floors of residential use above.

Firstplan secured planning permission after successfully negotiating with local authority officers to overcome objections raised in respect to parking, noise and vibration. Planning and advertisement consent was also successfully obtained for a scheme of illuminated signage and air-conditioning units to allow The Gym Group to begin operating from the unit.
