Quintain wins change to Wembley planning
Published: 19 September, 2011
Quintain has secured planning permission to change the 212,000-sq ft Wembley Retail Park from bulky goods to open A1 (non food)
The change of use was sought in order to reconfigure and revitalise Wembley Retail Park in line with Quintain's retail strategy for Wembley City which includes the development of the London Designer Outlet, which will be the first designer outlet scheme within the M25.
The recent permissions were for the refurbishment of 90,000 sq ft of space (on which A1 consent has previously been granted) and a further 55,000-sq ft change of use to Open A1 from bulky goods.
Phil Cottingham, managing director of retail at Quintain, said: “This planning success will enable Quintain to capitalise on the ongoing demand from high street retailers looking to gain greater representation on retail parks which offer good quality, affordable space. It also marks another important step forward in Quintain’s strategy to revitalise the wider retail offering at Wembley, improving future income streams for the Group as well as the retail experience for residents of and visitors to Wembley City.”
