Brighton and Cannes

With two of the largest events of the year within the space of two weeks, this is a very busy time for MDR and architectural practices in general. Starting with CIH Brighton, MDR co-hosted an afternoon tea party with Buxtons at the Grand Hotel. It was great to see so many new and familiar faces and we thank everyone who attended.

With MIPIM still in full swing, our directors are enjoying sunny Cannes and can add another successful event to their list! There was a fantastic turn out to the co-hotsed networking breakfast with Keepmoat. We hope that everyone who attended enjoyed the quayside breakfast. Spread over four days, MIPIM has provided a great opportunity to meet inspiring professionals within the property industry and has generated some very promising new relationships.

Successful South London Scheme

By | Uncategorized | 605 Comments

With 2016 coming to a close, MDR are happy to announce another successful planning application.

The scheme will see the former Duke of York Public House in Clapham transformed into 14 high-end residential units.

Working closely with Kingsbury consultants, Lambeth Council and the local community, MDR were able to deliver a prominent corner scheme, overcoming a range of planning considerations.

Throughout the planning process, MDR placed a key emphasis on stakeholder engagement, by conducting two pre-applications, public consultations and regular consultant meetings, which ultimately aided the successful delivery of the scheme.

At MDR, we pride ourselves on the ability to deliver efficient schemes on sites that are often overlooked or under-utilised. If you would like to know more about the services we can office, please contact Penny Fitzpatrick

East Grinstead Planning Success

By | Uncategorized | 917 Comments

MDR have secured planning permission for another outstanding scheme based in East Grinstead.

700x400The development site sits within the heart of East Grinstead town centre and seeks to revitalise the current shopping district to create a hub of public realm space, shopping facilities and residential units. The scheme will provide 129 residential units, formed of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and over 1600 sqm of commercial space.

MDR worked tirelessly to deliver the application in record time, with the entire scheme development life cycle from concept to planning submission being only three months. Working to such a tight time frame resulted in the team quickly and efficiently analysing key site constraints and opportunities whilst simultaneously working up an array of options investigating different unit splits and massing options. The result of this efficient working process resulted in a scheme that maximises site efficiency whilst delivering key outputs in line with the strict programme.

East-Grinstead-00-V4 reducedThe scheme has been well received by both the local council and residents via public consultations and should prove a key development for the area over the coming years.
