Project Summary
Contour Planning secured planning permission to facilitate Bestway’s expansion plans in the West Midlands. The two-stage strategy involved achieving planning permission for a change of use a former retail unit (in Stoke-on-Trent) into a new Bestway cash and Carry, with the second permission converting Bestway’s existing cash and carry (in Newcastle-under-Lyme) into a regional distribution centre. For this latter scheme, works included extending the site’s car parking and servicing area and introducing a new service road to create a one-way HGV route.
