COVID-19 business continuity
Entran operates across three offices and all of our staff regularly work from home either full or part-tim as part of our normal working practices. In light of the evolving coronavirus situation, we would therefore like to reassure our clients and partners that we have procedures in place to enable full business continuity.

Refused against officer recommendation
Very frustrating planning decision in Essex this week. Our client's planning application for 200+ new homes was refused against officer recommendation. The planning and highway authorities both supported the development and a package of highway improvements had been negotiated and agreed with the the local highway authority. On the night, however, one Councillor stated his objection by mis-quoting the commitee report. He was corrected by officers; however, that was sufficient for the vote to go against the development. One reason for refusal was that the cumulative transport effect of this and a neighbouring development would be 'severe', despite that being a specific component of the approved Transport Assessment.

Celebrating 15 years in business
2020 is Entran's 15th year in business. We can't believe how quickly time has flown by. The Bristol office has moved into larger premises, twice, and we now have offices in London and Cardiff. We will be using this anniversary as an excuse to re-vamp the website and refresh our branding - and to have a few drinks with our clients and colleagues of course.
