Residential and Mixed Use Development

Ray Welsh has extensive experience of both large and small residential and mixed use development is both public and private sectors.

There is more pressure for residential development than for any other sector of development, yet there are many difficulties in obtaining permission, with resistance in many districts to national guidance on density, car parking and other areas.

Identifying a site with development potential requires application of a sequential test, with urban and previously developed sites preferred to rural and greenfield sites. This means that an unallocated previously developed site may receive permission before an allocated green field site.

An example of an urban project is the one on the front page of the web site. This is a riverside scheme at Lombard Road, Battersea, Wandsworth. The scheme below was a 400 unit mixed use scheme on a small town site at St Neots in Cambridgeshire. Other recent schemes have been in Hackney, Colchester, Haringey, and Dacorum.
