We’re delighted to confirm the next stage of this scheme. This car sales site has been granted full planning approval, with the pre-commencement planning conditions now approved.

The client is now seeking prices for the work, with the hope construction will start later this year.

The scheme is for the construction of a purpose designed site for luxury car sales in Leicestershire. Our client, Hillmoren, currently operates from a small site approximately 1 mile from the application site.

The new buildings have been designed with barn-inspired architecture using natural materials for the main body of the buildings.

The site is very much focused on sustainability, with the 2 buildings having large areas of solar photo voltaic (PV) panels. The site will house many electric vehicles, with the PV being used to keep them charged whilst on site. On site rainwater harvesting will also be used to gather water for use in car cleaning prior to sale.

Hillmoren are not a typical car sales company. They specialise in high value luxury cars and have developed a niche for sales of electric vehicles, in particular Tesla. They are not a main dealer or franchise, but a private company. Sales are primarily through their specialist website, with many sales being completed online. Visitors to the site are limited and for the new site will be by appointment only.
