UK developer Quintain has secured the final planning permissions required at its Wembley Retail Park to change the entire 20,000 m2 scheme from bulky goods to open A1 non-food retail.

The change of use was sought in order to reconfigure and revitalise Wembley Retail Park in line with the company's overall retail strategy for Wembley City which includes the development of the London Designer Outlet, which will be the first designer outlet scheme within the M25.

'This planning success will enable Quintain to capitalise on the ongoing demand from high street retailers looking to gain greater representation on retail parks which offer good quality, affordable space,' said Phil Cottingham, managing director of Retail at Quintain.
