In addition to its experience and expertise in the field of new development on ‘green field’ sites, Kirkby & Diamond also has significant experience in the field of Urban Regeneration; whether this is the redevelopment of premises or the bringing back into use of areas of derelict land. Such projects can vary from relatively small single premises redevelopment to development of large disused areas.
Kirkby & Diamond’s Principal Planner has considerable experience of working on what is often also referred to as Brownfield Regeneration. Projects such as The Northampton Brownfield Initiative, a major regeneration project on three linked sites totalling some 90 hectares and delivering both housing, commercial and leisure development and the Urban Extension at Hampton, Peterborough.
Urban Regeneration aspects of your project and its contribution to bringing land back into efficient use can be a key consideration for a Local Authority and Kirkby & Diamond can advise you both on the planning application process and strategies to maximise the likelihood of achieving planning permission.
