Asda Superstore
Encon Associates were commissioned by Asda Walmart to carry out a full BS 5837 Tree Survey, produce landscape proposals to discharge planning conditions and carry out an Ecological Appraisal to maximise the BREEAM credits achievable under Land Use & Ecology.
Outline planning permission had previously been granted for the construction of a new 80,000 square foot retail food store with associated car parking, petrol filling station, landscaping and access road on a 7.5 acre industrial site in Mosborough, near the city of Sheffield, South Yorkshire. A “Reserved Matters” application was needed which meant that a detailed landscaping scheme had to be prepared and approved prior to commencement of work on site. The presence of a number of mature trees meant that a BS 5837 Tree Survey was also required by the Council as well as the need for the development to achieve an overall BREEAM rating of “Very Good”.
