Transport poses a significant challenge in our efforts towards urban regeneration. Balancing the demands of local and national planning policies is a constant juggle - addressing issues such as parking, waste management, accessibility for emergency vehicles, and smooth deliveries is integral to our work. Moreover, navigating through the varied standards set by different Local Authorities adds another layer of complexity, with some exercising more discretion than others.
An illustrative example of our innovative problem-solving occurred during the planning process for a project involving the development of nine terraced houses on a former car park site in Romford Town Centre. The site's constraints were apparent, with an access road spanning only 50 metres. To adhere to the necessary 'drag distances' required for both residents and refuse collectors, we had to think creatively. This involved acquiring an additional parcel of land, a solution that enabled us to meet regulatory requirements while revitalising the urban landscape.
