RECENT PROJECT EXPERIENCE RECENT CLIENTS RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, PLANNING & ASSET MAXIMISATION Thorne Hiley strategically advised and led the professional team and secured a planning consent on a former wood yard site in Zone 1 to provide twelve high-end residential units. A significant increase in asset value was realised following the marketing and successful disposal of the site to Aitch Group for the client. STRATEGIC SITE ACQUISITION Thorne Hiley successfully acquired a piece of land to enable access to a significant adjacent site, owned by the client that is planned to be developed to provide a mixed-use retail supermarket and residential development.
