Radford Way, Billericay

Firstplan negotiated planning permission for a mixed use development comprising 20 residential units, new office space, children’s activity centre, yoga studio, cafe and associated parking at Radford Way Business Park.

The site is allocated and safeguarded for employment generating B Class uses. Firstplan provided the planning and strategy advice that was critical in overcoming the policy constraints to successfully secure the release of this designated employment site for alternative residential and leisure uses.

The instruction also included leading the project team through the pre-application and application process, preparing a robust planning statement, submitting a well-managed application and leading negotiations with Basildon Council.
