  Planning Success at Chadwell St Mary

  We are pleased to share that our proposals for 116 homes in Chadwell St Mary, Essex, received approval this week. Recent changes to the NPPF unlocked this site as ‘Grey Belt’. The development forms an extension to the village, filling in the ‘gap’ between the industrial units to the east, and the Lea Road estate to the west.

  The proposals will deliver a mix of family houses and apartments within an attractive landscaped setting, including a new play area and SuDS. Traditional in form, the new homes will provide modern living, whilst relating sensitively to the surrounding context. At the northern boundary, the steep levels are carefully managed with terraced gardens.

  Planning Success at Angel Way, Romford

  Our scheme for 106 homes at Angel Way, Romford for Mercury Land Holdings was approved by the London Borough of Havering last night. Located close to Romford High Street, this underused 1960s car park site is set to be transformed into a thriving new neighbourhood with two mansion blocks, arranged around a generous central garden.

  The scheme includes two mid rise blocks, offering a varied housing mix; new green space for central Romford; integration of an existing culvert as part of the landscape design; improved pedestrian and cycle connectivity to the wider town centre, and a design that reflects the ambitions of the Romford Town Centre Masterplan.

  Reserved Matters Approval for Phase 2A, The Steadings

  We are pleased to share that our Reserved Matters application on behalf of Keepmoat for Phase 2A of The Steadings, Cirencester has been approved. Phase 2A marks the Eastern gateway into the wider Steadings masterplan, set within a rich landscaped setting. The proposals are for 100 new homes, which include over 30% affordable homes.

  Apartment buildings inspired by the Cotswold vernacular are paired to frame the Primary Street. High quality materials and traditional details combine to create characterful spaces that reflects the local context. An informal focal space at the heart of the northern parcel aids legibility and guides movement through to the open space beyond.
