Charles Street Project | Local Dialogue

Simons Development

Mixed use/Regeneration

Local Dialogue often works on major mixed-use schemes around the country. For Simons Developments we helped secure planning permission for a major mixed-use scheme in Dorchester Town Centre. The ‘Charles Street Project’ includes 146,000 sq ft of new retail space, affordable apartments, a hotel, a library and adult learning centre, and new offices for West Dorset District Council.

Response

Built strong relationships with community
Encouraging vocal support
Widely attended exhibitions

Outcome

Planning permission was secured and Local Dialogue has promoted further retail-led mixed-use developments on behalf of Simons Developments in Newmarket, Christchurch, Scunthorpe and Hitchin.
