News has broken this morning that Lower Thames Crossing has finally been granted development consent . The decision ends what feels like a lengthy period of uncertainty over the scheme and also represents a significant marker for the Labour government. Since taking power, they have been promoting growth in the housing sector and are now following that through with the larger infrastructure to support that growth, although the environmental question will forever hang over the scheme. Iceni are involved in multiple schemes in Essex and Kent and have already been assessing the impact of the now approved scheme. If there are any queries on how this could impact your interests in the area, our transport team would be more than happy to advise.

This week we had the pleasure of hosting students from both London South Bank University and University of Utrecht on site at Bromley-by-Bow with Berkeley Group Plc. A big thank you to Open Doors for organising the Southbank visit and the students for their enthusiasm and questions. Great to share the site with so many future industry leaders the week after it secured full planning consent. #Engagement #BromleybyBow #StWilliam #BerkeleyGroup

Did you hear that the Planning and Infrastructure Bill landed yesterday?! With a total of 167 pages, it is a lot of bedtime reading. But don't worry, our team have worked through the detail so that you don't have to. Here's our latest Iceni Briefing Note💡 Gemma Gallant and Lucy Morris

This week, Poppy Malcomson and Grace K. from our Built Heritage and Townscape team consider what happens when a listed building burns down and whether we need to be creative when it comes to preservation and restoration. https://hubs.ly/Q03bp9L50

The way we work, live, and invest in buildings is changing. With nearly 80% of the buildings that will exist in 2050 already built, the focus is shifting towards retrofitting and repurposing rather than demolishing and starting anew. At Iceni, we’re at the forefront of this transformation. From unlocking complex planning challenges to enhancing sustainability credentials, we are helping landowners, developers and investors future-proof their assets. From 214 Oxford Street to 150 St Vincent Street in Glasgow, Iceni is helping to redefine commercial real estate through deep retrofit, creative repurposing and smart sustainability solutions. Read our Retrofit & Repurposing showcase to see how we’re making an impact. #Retrofit #Repurposing #Sustainability #NetZero #UrbanRegeneration #RealEstate #Planning #Iceni

It was a wet finish to Day 4 of the Club Peloton MIPIM ride (250km cycling, with an elevation of 3,374m). Fortunately, Ian Anderson and James Stone still have their Cub Scout skills when it comes to drying their kit for today's cycling. Just the small matter of 249km and 4,000m of climbing to come today. This year, MIPIM 2025 aims to raise £200,000 to support three incredible charities, each transforming young lives: Coram Adoption – helping children find their forever homes. Cyclists Fighting Cancer – getting young people pedalling on their road to recovery. Tom ap Rhys Pryce Memorial Trust – empowering disadvantaged young people in Central London.

Yesterday we were delighted to host a roundtable with Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing) to discuss growth in the borough’s already vibrant creative sector. Leader of Ealing, Cllr Peter Mason affirmed his commitment to the sector and its huge potential to drive economic growth, and discussions focused on promoting Ealing as a creative hub, managing land values and developing a joined-up approach to training to provide the skills the sector needs. A huge thank you to Cllr Mason and Cllr Shital Manro for joining us, to Gemma Gallant for chairing, and to all the attendees for contributing to such a fascinating discussion.
