Epping Multiple Developments

Essex, UK

This new regeneration development for Epping County Council consists of five sites currently used by an existing sports centre, former school, town council building and car parks. There development will be turned into a mixture of houses and apartments offering a range of private for sale homes, high quality rented homes and affordable housing aligned with Epping County Council’s affordability criteria. Proposals also include an enhanced leisure centre, multi-level car parking (including electric car charging points), retail, offices, cinema and community space to complement the established High Street.

The project challenges included proving the economic viability of the sustainability measures that we have developed and incorporating these into our design. The client brief is for an affordable, sustainable development, so we did a cost benefit analysis for the swimming pool site to provide evidence of the impact of our sustainability measures. These findings have been incorporated into the planning proposal which has been submitted.

It was incredibly important for the client that we showed how our sustainability measures can go beyond the local plan and work towards a net zero development.
