John Smedleys

Planning Design were instructed as planning consultants to deliver a complex set of proposals for redevelopment, conversion and part demolition on a site at Lea Mills part of the John Smedley factory. The ‘East Site’ is no longer needed for garment manufacture and development was needed to secure a beneficial future use for the land and buildings and to support the company’s development and expansion. The company also has three listed cottages at risk which are in a poor state of repair and need to be refurbished and brought back into residential use.
