CgMs Experience
CgMs has considerable experience in negotiating planning permissions for city centre offices, office/business parks, science parks and industrial/warehouse floorspace including trade centres. We are frequently involved in persuading planning authorities to grant permission to alternative non-B Class uses such as car showrooms and residential. We have expertise in undertaking employment land availability studies. The team has also been successful in negotiating changes within the sector, for example to B8 where the Council are concerned about low employment generation and from B2/B8 where a Council wishes to preserve this particular type of employment. The team has also prepared and agreed with LPAs planning briefs, in particularly for industrial/warehousing sites prior to disposal. The team is currently advising the Home Office on alternative sites for office development as part of a rationalisation programme.
