Transforming Commercial Spaces: MLA Architecture & Development’s Success with Class MA Planning Applications in Northamptonshire

At MLA Architecture & Development, we’re thrilled to share our latest success story in Class MA planning applications. Our Northamptonshire-based team recently secured planning approval for an exciting project—the conversion of a disused Tesco Express on Irthlingborough High Street into four beautifully designed apartments.

Why Choose MLA Architecture & Development?

Located in Northamptonshire, we specialize in Architectural Design, Planning Consultancy, and Development. We excel in revitalizing underutilized commercial buildings by navigating the intricacies of the planning process. Our expertise ensures swift approvals, as demonstrated by our recent project, where we achieved planning consent within just 56 days using permitted development rights under Class MA.

Project Highlights: Tesco Express Conversion

This project is a perfect example of how we can breathe new life into commercial spaces. The first floor of the former Tesco Express now houses two stylish one-bedroom and two spacious two-bedroom apartments. Our team upgraded the building’s exterior with brick slip piers and traditional sash-style windows to enhance its visual appeal while respecting its historical context.

Why This Project Stands Out

Situated in a conservation area, we approached this project with a deep understanding of the surrounding architecture and history. Our design not only improves the property’s aesthetic but also contributes positively to Irthlingborough High Street’s charm. The result? A successful project that meets modern living standards while preserving historical significance.

Your Vision, Our Expertise

At MLA Architecture & Development, we are experts in Class MA planning and are dedicated to transforming disused commercial buildings into functional, attractive spaces. If you have an underutilized commercial property in Northamptonshire, let us help you realize its full potential.
