4D Planning are the trusted Planning Consultants for the American Math Tuition Franchise company "Mathnasium" in the UK. With tens of successful projects around the UK and a track record of only approved applications, we were able to obtain planning consent for the change of use of the former music shop (use class E) to education centre F1(a). We produced the architectural drawings, designing the internal layouts to meet the client's requirements, new signage on the shop front, to address the relevant Conservation Area and Shopping parade character, as well as the Mathnasium Franchise brand. We drafted a convincing Planning Statement addressing the planning policies and other relevant planning considerations. We liaised with Haringey Council planning officers to ensure the application will pass. The application was granted planning permission and advertisement consent.
There are in excess of 20 Mathnasium centres operating in the UK, and this number is quickly growing. Research has shown that the business model is not affected by extremes of weather or any changes in ‘fashion’ trends; there is an ever-increasing need for supplementary education and parents are now prioritising this over other discretionary spend items. In Mathnasium’s more established markets (US and Canada) retailers are now very aware of the “Mathnasium effect” and as a result new retailers are actively seeking out premises near to a Mathnasium Centre, as there is a marked upturn in “pedestrian traffic” whenever a centre opens (source: CBRE Commercial Real Estate Services) due to the nature of parents spending upwards of an hour or so in neighbouring businesses, two to three times per week. The centres are vibrant and dynamic operations, and they participate regularly in community outreach programmes where fun activities are organised (usually based around maths puzzles and challenges) engaging with local parents and complementary businesses to ensure that they are seen as a valued cornerstone of any local community.
