Neil McKenna has just published his first academic research paper, which explores the evolution of community-led housing in Leeds, a front-running city for community-led housing in England. Alongside his work as Senior Planner at Tibbalds, he has been doing a part-time PhD research project looking at the transformative potential of community-led housing. Neil moved to Leeds in 2019 to make this both his new home and research case study, and has got involved with various projects and networks. Five years later, Neil is delighted to have his first stand-alone paper published from the wider PhD project. https://lnkd.in/ggkfv_aT #phd #planning #Leeds #community #housing #research

Merry Christmas from Tibbalds Thank you to everyone we have worked with throughout another successful year. This year has been particularly special for us, celebrating 21 years of Tibbalds Planning and Urban Design. This year has been a great opportunity to reflect on where we started, the values that have driven us forward, and the many people who have contributed along the way. We’ve thought about the variety of projects we are involved in and the way we approach our work. Take a look at our end of year greeting: https://lnkd.in/d25qqSzt #Chistmas #reflection #Tpud21 #peoplefriendlyplaces

Updated NPPF Published 160 days after sweeping into power we have the new Government’s update to the NPPF. Not wanting to break from political tradition, published as a Christmas treat! The central theme of the changes is, as expected, increasing and accelerating housing delivery, with the ‘loosening’ of greenbelt test the main headline maker to date. The planning system remains a key focus for politicians, the press and wider public, with reform seemingly unending. It is not of course the only barrier, perceived or otherwise, to delivering the housing people need in the places they are needed. Making development deliverable, supported by coordinated infrastructure delivery and genuine placemaking is incumbent on not only the planning system and those working within it, but the wider industry. To this end, it is good to see commitments to necessary infrastructure and green spaces retained in the published version of the NPPF (para. 156), as well as the need for consistency in the delivery of major infrastructure (27) and a vision led approach to transport (109). There are no radical changes to the consultation version from July but some welcome evolution, including: - Further promotion of healthy and safe communities by giving LPAs a planning mandate to refuse applications for hot food takeaways and fast food outlets near schools and other locations (97). - Greater accountability for delivering design quality with applicants needing to provide information to demonstrate how proposals will meet the design expectations of local and national policy (137). - Strengthening recognition of the importance of ensuring good sustainable and active travel movement and transport principles into placemaking (109). We look forward to putting the positive measures into practice in our work, whilst continuing to push for what is required to deliver people friendly places. The above will further support us, and others in the development industry, in promoting and delivering not just the homes that are needed, but beyond the rhetoric on numbers, more places that people want to live, work and play in. #NPPF #housing #planning #placemaking #transport #PeopleFriendlyPlaces

Gingerbread City returns for 2024! This year’s theme is ‘Recycled City’ - focussing on re-imagining urban spaces by re-using land, buildings, and materials to create inspiring environments for living, working, and playing. Development within our plot follows the principles of Repurpose, Retrofit and Regeneration. Our approach focusses on reuse and recycling, and demonstrates how existing structures, buildings, and brownfield sites can be innovatively adapted to meet evolving community needs and planning policy aspirations.

Project success at the #NLAAwards2024! Members of the Tibbalds team enjoyed attending the NLA New London Awards this week at the #Guildhall in the City of London and were delighted that two Tibbalds projects were on the shortlist across the housing and masterplanning categories. One project Tower Court was selected both as overall Winner, as well as winner in the housing category. Tibbalds are delighted to have contributed to the success of this project using our design-led approach to development planning and support for the design team through the planning stages. The scheme demonstrates the power of good design to unlock development, creating great buildings and people-friendly places. The Application was submitted by Tibbalds and gained Planning Permission in 2017. A multidisciplinary design team, led by Adam Khan Architects, was appointed by the London Borough of Hackney Council's Regeneration team to develop proposals for the redevelopment of the estate, comprising a brief for mixed tenure housing, a community ambulance facility and a comprehensive public realm strategy to support a new residential community. Congratulations to Adam Khan Architects, together with the rest of the team, including MUF ARCHITECTURE / ART LLP, CGL ARCHITECTS, Tom Stebbing, (with Bernd Schmutz and Cathy Hawley), J&L Gibbons and Daisy Froud. Also those team members involved more recently including Child Graddon Lewis. Tibbalds second shortlisted project was the Carpenters Estate which sadly didn’t win its category but that always leaves potential for the future! Well done to the winner of that Allies and Morrison for the Low Line Vision from Lambeth North to Battersea. https://lnkd.in/eqJR3VC9 JOHN STEBBING ARCHITECTS LIMITED Cathy Hawley - www.cathyhawley.co.uk Bernd Schmutz - www.berndschmutz.com liza fior
