New Build Supermarket, Blackburn

CPA were engaged by Wm Morrison Supermarkets Limited to support the design stage development of a new build supermarket on a brownfield former brewery site in Blackburn.

Early design proposals were prepared by the third-party Engineer acting for the site developer. CPA’s role included reviewing all initial civil and structural proposals, background report scope and specification reviews as well as output recommendations.

This facilitated design efficiencies in the Flood Risk Assessment, drainage levels, retaining wall configuration and the building foundation solutions all leading to a cost-effective design for the ultimate client. CPA’s role continued throughout the planning application preparation stage of the development where our contribution included further reviewing of planning reports and proposals to assist the client in achieving
a regulatory approval application.
