Client: McArthurGlen
The Swindon Designer Outlet occupies the renovated Grade II listed buildings of the former Great Western Railway Works in Swindon town centre. TPP was appointed by Henderson Global Investors and McArthurGlen to provide transport advice in relation to extension proposals which included converting the historic Long Shop building and part of the main service area to provide additional retail space.
TPP’s work involved redesigning the service areas, reviewing access for service and fire vehicle and relocation of pedestrian crossing facilities. One of the more unusual areas of work involved planning for the delivery and removal of steam engines on specially adapted vehicles across a new public realm area. The planning application has been approved.
