Flowers Way Planning Submission

By | Luton, Mixed Use, Residential, Student Accommodation | 53 Comments

We are pleased to announce the formal submission for a detailed planning application of one of our largest schemes to date. Flowers Way, located in the heart of Luton, comprises a mix of 130 residential units and 359 student accommodation rooms, as well as prime commercial space.

On the site of an under-used car park, we have produced a scheme that seamlessly integrates with the urban Luton context along with our neighbouring scheme, Park Street West. Working to a strict client brief, we were able to maximise the site’s true value with a result in the generation of surplus units.

Overcoming a multitude of difficulties, the team relied on extensive experience within the area to produce an 11 storey development sympathetic to its surroundings and looking set to bring positive investment to an under-utilised area of Luton.

New Cross Road Successful Planning Application

By | News, Residential | 550 Comments

We can safely add another successful planning application to the list.

New Cross Road is a mixed use scheme with 44 units of mixed tenure in Lewisham.

Occupying a key corner gateway site within the Deptford High Street Conservation and wider regeneration area, the design proposal was the fruitful outcome of an extensive design and pre-application process and close dialogue with Lewisham planning and urban design. Commended by English Heritage for the response to context within scale, materials and architectural rhythm, the project was consented on appeal to provide 44 homes ranging form 1 to 3 bed apartments built to Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4.

For more information, head to the project page where you can download the case study in PDF.
