Harris wins suite of planning consents
COMMERCIAL architects and planners The Harris Group (Harris) has delivered design and planning for a trio of new retail schemes in the region led by Gregory Property Group.
Works started in November on a new Pure Gym with associated units in Bramley, Leeds, while a new Aldi food store and Pure Gym scheme with additional retail unit at Regent Street, received outline planning approval in August.
The former car showroom site which has become something of an eyesore since it was abandoned in 2008 on what is a principle gateway route into the city centre.
Harris is also supporting Leeds-based Gregory Property Group on its proposed 50,000 sq ft retail park on Great Eastern Way, Rotherham, phase one of which also received full planning consent in August and starts on site in November, whilst phase two has outline consent.
