Change of use to D1 (F1), Advertisement Consent, New Shop Front
Change of use from shop (A1, E) to non-residential education centre (D1, F1) to include installation of new shopfront and new entrance and fencing to rear.
4D Planning conducted a feasibility assessment to establish whether the loss of an A1 (now Use Class E) unit along the high street would be acceptable to the council. Following our conclusive report, we advised the client to apply for planning permission to change the use to D1 (now Use Class F1-a) to open the first branch of the American Learning Tuition Centre "Mathnasium" in the UK. The brand is very popular in the USA. 4D Planning were instructed to prepare the planning application, produce the architecture drawings and Planning statement. We submitted the planning application and advertisement consent for the new signage and changes to the shop front and rear of the shop. We liaised with the planning officers to ensure that the proposed use was understood correctly. Both applications were granted permission by Hertsmere Council.
4D Planning have helped open up many Mathnasium centres around London. Are you considering opening up a franchise of Mathnasium? Get in touch for a free consultation.
Mathnasium is swiftly growing in the UK, with more than 20 centres already established and new locations opening regularly. The franchise's proven business model has demonstrated resilience, unaffected by shifts in trends or economic conditions, as more parents prioritise their children's education over other non-essential spending.
Key to this expansion has been Mathnasium's partnership with 4D Planning, the preferred planning consultants for the franchise across the UK. 4D Planning has an impressive track record, securing approvals for all Mathnasium centres that we have applied for, helping the company to continue its steady growth across the country.
In markets like the US and Canada, Mathnasium has already made a significant impact, creating what is known as the “Mathnasium effect.” Retailers in these areas actively seek out locations near Mathnasium centres, as they benefit from increased foot traffic. Parents visiting the centres spend up to an hour or more in nearby shops multiple times a week, creating a positive ripple effect for local businesses.
Mathnasium centres are more than just learning hubs; they are lively, community-driven spaces. Through fun, math-focused activities and regular outreach events, these centres engage with families and local businesses, becoming a valued presence in their communities and reinforcing their role as a cornerstone of supplemental education in the UK.
