Next, Elgar Retail Park, Worcester

Q+A Planning secured the necessary planning permissions for the re-occupation of the existing Halfords store on Elgar Retail Park in Worcester by Next. Q+A Planning also provided the sequential test evidence and retail impact evidence in support of the applications. Following extensive discussions with the Local Planning Authority, planning permission was unanimously granted at planning committee in October 2019. This was the first time that fashion retailing has been permitted ‘out of centre’ in Worcester. Construction has taken place during 2020 and 2021 and the store opened in 2021.
