Chetwoods Architects

Following a series of consultation events, Chetwoods Leeds office’s scheme for Sainsbury’s in Dorridge near Solihull has won planning approval.

The consultation process included workshops, public exhibitions and questionnaires, which attracted a cross-section of the local community giving them an opportunity to voice their needs and ideas.

The meetings explored ideas and alternatives before determining a preferred option. The development team was able to take on board the resulting feedback to revise and refine the design before submitting it for approval.

The development comprises six retail units, two smaller kiosk units, and a retail food store on a site in the centre of Dorridge that is currently occupied by the Forest Court Shopping Precinct on the edge of a Conservation Area.
