Key Project Information
- The Port of Felixtowe is the UK’s largest port, with new docks that allow it to handle the latest generation of super-sized container ships, it handles over two million container loads each year.
- The 3-hectare site will be used for purposes within use class B8 (Storage and Distribution) including but not limited to HGV parking, servicing, fuelling, container storage and loading/unloading, or a combination of such uses.
We were instructed to secure permission to replace a vacant office building, Anzani House, with a purpose-built distribution facility.
An extensive pre-application engagement process was required. Our planning and environment teams provided advice to secure the successful planning permission.
We worked closely with transport, noise, flood risk and air quality consultants, we submitted a comprehensive suite of documents which successfully addressed all technical matters.
Extensive pre-application engagement helped to make the planning application itself a smooth process and permission was granted just eight weeks after submission.
Our planning and environment teams continue to be involved in the discharge of planning conditions
