Planning consultants De Pol in office relocation

Planning consultants De Pol Associates has relocated from Leyland to new premises in Chorley.

The firm, which had been based at Farington House, has agreed the lease on a 988 sqft first floor office suite at Ackhurst Business Park in Foxhole Road.

Established in 1986, De Pol Associates is a family run chartered town planning consultancy providing advice and support across all aspects of planning and development.

Northern Trust owned Ackhurst Business Park extends to 83,358 sqft and comprises 16 modern, detached office buildings set within fully maintained landscaped grounds. 

Director Alexis De Pol said: “We are delighted to have moved into our new offices at Balmoral House, Ackhurst Business Park.

"Having worked with Northern Trust for more than 25 years, we have built a strong working relationship over that time, so it was a natural choice to work with them again when looking for our new premises.

"We are very pleased with our new base in Chorley and look forward to continuing our relationship with Northern Trust for many years to come."

Neil McManus, senior development executive at Northern Trust, said: “We’ve enjoyed a strong working relationship with De Pol Associates, working together on planning consultancy and applications, so it’s particularly pleasing to be able to support them with their own move.

"We were delighted to help make the transition as smooth as possible and we wish Alexis and the team every success in their new home at Ackhurst Business Park.”
