The Design Process
Planning consent was granted for 133 dwellings comprising houses and flats on a meandering cul-de-sac arrangement in 2011, however this scheme was subsequently found to be unviable. Following Bell Phillips Architects' appointment in 2012 the design team worked closely alongside Thurrock Council to develop the design from first principles. Two pre-application submissions were undertaken, the first to establish the broad principles of the development, the second considering the design in more detail. The collaborative planning process was instrumental in securing detailed planning consent for 128 new homes in February 2015.
