MDR are delighted to have recently been appointed by Redkite Community Housing as one of their framework Architects. We are keen to see this relationship grow over the coming months and for the potential new development opportunities this brings. We look forward to working with Redkite and providing some exceptional schemes in the near future.
Yet another planning success for MDR Associates!
We are please to announce that our latest rooftop development scheme, County House, Beckenham, has recently secured planning consent.
The project consists of a single storey roof top extension to an existing mixed use building in Beckenham. Working closely with Hyde New Build and Davies Murch planning consultants the scheme will provide some much needed, additional housing.
The site held a previous planning consent for a four-unit expansion but our expert team architects established a design solution that would maximise the available space to provide three additional units. The final scheme secured a total of seven additional units comprising one and two bed flats. The proposed design solution allows for all of the existing units to remain occupied during construction.
The new units will meet housing provision requirements in the area.

MDR would like to thank everyone who attended last nights “The New London Plan and Green Infrastructure Evening’ with special thanks going to The Temple group for such an excellent presentation and Q&A session. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and it was great to see such a turn out. We hope you all enjoyed the night as much as we did.
There was some great debate and conversations throughout the evening with quote of the night going to Jenny Massingham of The Temple Group – “ The plan’s theme for good growth seeks to build thousands of affordable homes whilst creating an inclusive, greener city.”

MDR are delighted to announce the successful determination for three of our flagship rooftop development schemes, Damory House, Thaxted Court and Chilton Grove, delivering much needed residential units in Southwark working with the Council, Engie and Blakeney Leigh.
Damory House and Thaxted Court
The site is currently occupied by council estate buildings, set for refurbishment as part of the wider area masterplan redevelopment and refurbishment. The scheme will see an additional 28 units constructed on top of the existing housing blocks. Find out more here.
Chilton Grove
Working closely with Southwark council and the contractor, we are pleased to have secured a successful planning decision for the erection of 44 additional residential units on top of two existing housing blocks. Taking a similar construction approach as that of Damory & Thaxted, 100% of this development will provide secured affordable housing. Find out more here.
This RTD approach allows for maximum site utilisation and the provision of much needed residential accommodation within Southwark. Working with existing residents in situ, the proposal will deliver a range of benefits for residents, including:
The proposed structural system for the new roof extension will utilise a steel framing system which makes handling easier. Being lighter than traditional timber construction, it is a quick and efficient system with no hammering of nails, power saw to cut or manoeuvring of heavy sections on the roof. The system means the speed of build is considerably quicker when compared to conventional construction methods. Unit sections (floor, wall, ceiling and roof) can be modular; constructed off site and lifted into position or alternatively “flat packed“ to be erected on-site.
The approval of both these flagship schemes comes as MDR roll out our bespoke methodology and approach to potential rooftop and infill sites. MDR are on track to deliver hundreds of rooftop and infill units from feasibility studies through planning and on site in 2018.
If you have a site that you would like our dedicated and experienced rooftop development team to review, please contact our commercial director Penny Fitzpatrick (penny.fitzpatrick@mdrassociates.co.uk).
MDR have had a great start to the year having received planning consent for the proposed development at 10-12 Dunheved Road from Croydon Council.

MDR are excited to announce the successful planning consent for Lingfield Lodge.

The project will see the replacement of the current, outdated and vacant retirement home. In its place we will be providing a modern, energy efficient building, sympathetically designed to reflect its surroundings whilst providing some much needed extra care facilities for the elderly.

MDR successfully achieved planning permission from Lewisham council in 2015 for a new build residential scheme located at 29 Pomeroy Street in Peckham.
MDR’s proposals went through several pre-applications and detailed design reviews before the final scheme comprising 37 one, two and three bed units achieved consent.
MDR visited the site on Thursday (17th November 2017) prior to hand over to Clarion Housing Association by contractors Skillcrown Homes. Skillcrown managed to successfully mange a tricky site to delivery a scheme of excellent quality. The scheme will provide much needed affordable housing provision and occupants are expected to begin moving in Pre-Christmas.
The new occupants will be greeted with superb amenity spaces, high ceilings and easy access to local amenities and main line rail stations. We are delighted with the result.
