Recreation Ground,
Stratford upon Avon

In January 2018, Danter Attractions Ltd were awarded a temporary license from Stratford-on-Avon District Council to operate a 40m high observation wheel on the Recreation Ground in the heart of the town from Easter to September each year for three years.

With no time to spare, we worked with the client, a structural engineer and a drainage engineer to submit a planning application within four weeks, showing that the wheel could be safely constructed within flood zone 3 and that Danter Attractions had an excellent track record of constructing and managing large scale visitor attractions in busy public areas.  Whilst local opinions were divided on the potential impact on the Conservation Area, the setting of grade I, II* and II buildings and the vitality and viability of existing businesses within the town centre, planning officers presented the scheme to the Committee in March, where approval was granted for a temporary period of three years.  In 2021 we secured a new consent for a further five years.
