4D Planning assisted Mathnasium company to open its flagship company in the UK. This project is one of the first of many projects which were granted permission for tuition centres on the high streets. Barnet Council assessed the application and concluded that the proposed tuition centre would provide a positive local service to the community, provide local employment and enhance the local footfall for the benefit of the other businesses along the parade. We produced the architectural drawings, planning documents and prepared and managed the application until it was granted planning permission for the Change of Use. We also obtained advertisement consent from the council for the new signage.
Mathnasium is rapidly expanding throughout the UK, with over 20 centres currently operating and more opening soon. The franchise’s robust business model continues to thrive, remaining unaffected by seasonal changes or economic fluctuations. As parents increasingly prioritise educational support for their children, spending on supplementary learning has become more important than ever.
A major factor in Mathnasium’s successful growth is their collaboration with 4D Planning, the preferred planning consultants for the franchise in the UK. With a flawless track record, 4D Planning has consistently obtained approvals for Mathnasium centres around London and other cities in the UK, ensuring smooth expansion across the country.
In more established markets such as the US and Canada, retailers have recognised the "Mathnasium effect." Shops near Mathnasium locations see a significant boost in customer foot traffic, as parents frequently visit neighbouring businesses while their children attend tutoring sessions. This effect has made Mathnasium a valuable asset to commercial areas, drawing new retailers to set up shop nearby.
Mathnasium centres are also active community hubs. They regularly host events featuring engaging math challenges and puzzles, encouraging local families and businesses to participate. These initiatives strengthen their ties within the community, ensuring that Mathnasium is seen not only as a leader in education but as an important community partner as well.
