Aldi Food Store
Encon Associates were commissioned by Aldi as part of their framework agreement to provide landscape design consultancy for their new stores across the Midlands. Our role is to produce landscape proposals to achieve planning consent for their roll out of new food stores.
A number of existing mature trees along the frontage were retained and integrated as part of the overall landscape design intended to provide ecological enhancement and a practical urban planting.
Appearance is high on Aldi’s agenda when building new stores and landscaping is a key part of creating an attractive development which is visually appealing to its customers. Working closely with Stoas Architects from Birmingham, a planning application was submitted for the demolition of the existing garage on site and construction of a new 1,200m2 food store including landscape proposals produced by Encon Associates landscape architects.
Development Site Area: 0.65 hectares

Encon Associates were employed by ourselves as BREEAM Assessor and Approved Professional on 3 contracts running concurrently in Sheffield. At all times through the project they were able to provide clear detailed advice on requirements to ourselves and our supply chain, and were able to offer additional services where required (including compiling the Tenant Green Guide Specification).
The use of the IES TaP for BREEAM portal has proved a useful tool in tracking the BREEAM process, providing us as a main contractor a simple and user friendly way to co-ordinate the BREEAM evidence requirements with the designers and our supply chain.
The team have promptly assessed evidence when received and provided detailed feedback to ensure any compliance issues were understood – we would have no hesitation in employing Encon Associates on our future BREEAM schemes.
