On instructions from the London Borough of Waltham Forest, we have undertaken a town planning assessment examining the potential development implications of a major housing development planned in the vicinity of a large utility sewage/wastewater installation. Development appraisals have been undertaken for proposed housing developments on sites in Leeds, Reading, Uxbridge, Upminster and Enfield with subsequent Council engagements for pre-application advice. Planning permissions have been secured for school developments in Norwich, Hornchurch, Barking and Broxbourne with work continuing on a planned 400 unit estate regeneration scheme in Tower Hamlets.

Planning permission has been secured for new school developments in Lewisham (as an amended scheme) and Wandsworth. We have also been instructed on two major housing-led developments in Tower Hamlets and are also now advising on the potential for greenfield housing development on a large hotel site in South East England.

RENEW Planning Limited has been exclusively retained to provide planning consultancy advice to two of the appointed contractors on the Department for Education’s new offsite construction framework for the design and build of offsite schools and other educational establishments predicated on the use of modular and modern methods of construction. The DfE programme will deliver some 30 offsite schools a year with a projected pipeline of up to £3bn over the next 4 years. The appointments will be for the 4 years’ duration of the DfE contract award.

We have been instructed on a major housing estate regeneration scheme in East London, a commercial sports centre development on a school site in Hertfordshire and school developments in Hornchurch, Norwich, Doncaster and Epping. Planning permission was secured for a mixed-residential and community use development in Tower Hamlets and school developments in Doncaster, Birmingham and Kettering.
