HOLD Self Storage is a London-based storage company growing its footprint around the capital. It debuted in the city with the opening of its King's Cross site, and is eyeing expansion across the city.
Now, HOLD has announced planning permission for its third site in Croydon. Supported by TFT's Daylight and Sunlight team who provided advice and BRE assessments to support the planning submission.
Located on the site of a former Car Dealership, the site is bounded by residential properties to north and south. The site enjoyed anextant planning consent and Hold with their Architect, DMWR, rationalised the site to provide a Self-Storage facility.
TFT's advice, assessments and reports helped HOLD to meet local planning authority requirements and address any concerns in relation to daylight and sunlight amenity for the neighbouring residential properties. Croydon council was fully satisfied, which allowed application to progress without further consideration in relation to these matters.
This is one of several sites for which TFT is helping HOLD to deliver new build self-storage facilities. We're looking forward to sharing news of the others as they progress.
