Clyde Shanks was appointed by Phillips VW to advise on securing full planning permission for a new purpose built showroom adjacent to Dobbies Retail centre on Lisburn’s Saintfield Road to allow them to relocate from existing premises.  We initiated a competitive architect selection process and co-ordinated the planning application submission including engaging local community and political representatives.  Planning permission was secured in a timely manner and the facility is under construction and will open to the public in 2016.
