Polytunnel for Nursery Site

Objective:

The client’s objective was to gain permission for a covered canopy to the existing out-door plant area. 

Proposal:

To create a covered area over the existing plant sales area which will offer protection for their plants from frost, heat and extreme weather such as hail and heavy rain. Such events can cause the plants to become damaged, therefore unsalable resulting in reduced profit. Furthermore, approval for the application would increase customer experience during winter months, allowing maintenance of visitor numbers throughout the year, providing economic stability for our client. 

Local Planning Authority:

Braintree District Council

What the consultant Says


Expansion of this prosperous rural business was essential following the onset of Covid which enabled the client to benefit from a covered area to expand their retail sales.
