We’re delighted to announce that one of our projects has been granted full planning approval! 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 existing site is constrained by an adjacent fuel garage and therefore has limited potential for expansion and doesn’t meet the business needs of a high-quality experience. The proposal is for a range of new buildings which will allow our client to expand their company, creating additional employment.

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.

They have been looking for suitable sites for a period of time.  By virtue of its private location and good transport links the site will provide the exclusive setting which matches their brand and products.

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

Will will update you as this exciting project progresses.
