Evolution5 was appointed to provide programme management support to oversee the pre-construction phase and purchase of the land required to facilitate the new Blandford Waste Management Centre in Blandford, Dorset.
Prior to our appointment, land purchase negotiations had become protracted, and the planning permission was at risk of lapsing if the land purchase wasn’t secured by the end of 2024.
Evolution5’s programme manager successfully brought all parties together to work towards the securing completion of the land purchase before planning permission lapsed.
Through strong leadership and a collaborative approach, Heads of Terms were agreed upon, and contracts prepared to be signed and sealed by the local authority to allow the project to commence in February 2025, two months before planning permission was due to lapse.
