Meeting Growing Demand 

Lesley Bloomfield is a well-used and valued shopping destination. However, the unit has remained unoccupied for some time and demand from potential occupiers cannot be fully accommodated across the existing shopping centre units.

About the Consultation Team 

The applicant is supported by a consultancy team which includes Turley, the Planning and Communication Consultants and Hughes McMichael as the Project Architects.
