Design Challenges
The pre-planning elements of work required a slightly different approach to applications on mainland UK due to nuances with the usual planning process and some slight variances with available design guidance. This, coupled with a lack of flood data for the site, meant that the team had to undertake an extensive amount of research and conduct thorough surveys in order to produce feasible and deliverable designs
“This development will greatly boost interest and investment in Port Erin, and we’re thrilled to be part of it. Dice’s work in the pre-planning stage was crucial in securing planning permission, with minimal comments or changes needed. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”
