Asda Superstore
Encon Associates were commissioned by Asda Walmart to carry out a full BS 5837 Tree Survey, produce landscape proposals to discharge planning conditions and carry out an Ecological Appraisal to maximise the BREEAM credits achievable under Land Use & Ecology.
Outline planning permission had previously been granted for the construction of a new 80,000 square foot retail food store with associated car parking, petrol filling station, landscaping and access road on a 7.5 acre industrial site in Mosborough, near the city of Sheffield, South Yorkshire. A “Reserved Matters” application was needed which meant that a detailed landscaping scheme had to be prepared and approved prior to commencement of work on site. The presence of a number of mature trees meant that a BS 5837 Tree Survey was also required by the Council as well as the need for the development to achieve an overall BREEAM rating of “Very Good”.

We have been delighted with the service from Encon Associates throughout and for their help in achieving a BREEAM Very Good rating on both phases of our Bishop Auckland retail park project.
The online IES TaP system meant I was able to keep a close eye on how things were progressing from start to finish – an excellent facility.
Finally, thanks for your own personal contribution and guidance which was invaluable – very much appreciated. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Encon Associates and look forward to working with you on future projects.
