opening date
In October 2015 we supported a planning application for redevelopment of the Engine Yard at Belvoir Castle. Formerly the castle’s workshops, the vision was to convert the old buildings and create a centre of excellence for food and drink. The application was granted and since then the Duchess of Rutland and her team have been […]
Decathlon downsize
We continue to assist British Land with their proposals at the Giltbrook Shopping Park.

The trickiest highway issue was designing an pedestrian crossing on a raised table, with altered speed limit, at the entry to the village where neighbouring driveways and other constraints meant a suitable location was difficult to […]
