***VILLAGE HIGH STREET REGENERATION*** Zesta Planning Ltd are delighted to confirm that planning permission has been secured for the redevelopment of Heath Buildings in the heart of #Oxshott #Surrey High Street. The development includes the provision of 9no. apartments, 4no. high quality retail units and associated parking and storage areas. The existing building is in a very poor state of repair and operating beyond its intended lifespan, rendering the existing apartments largely uninhabitable and the existing retail spaces below modern standards. The proposals have been designed with the local community in mind and will build on the independent businesses already thriving in the village, with the proposed modern retail units being occupied by various independent outlets not currently available. Furthermore, the high quality residential apartments proposed will add to the vitality of this part of the High Street, and will provide meaningful additional dwellings towards Elmbridge Borough Council's housing supply. These proposals are two years in the making and follow substantial levels of public engagement throughout to ensure that the right scheme for this locality was secured. Ultimately this engagement resulted in the support of all ward Councillors, the local village residents group, the majority of Oxshott residents and finally the Planning Committee itself. #Regeneration #HighStreet #Planning #Development #MixedUse #Retail #Commercial #Residential #Apartments #Community #Independent

City of Yes for Housing Opportunity would allow the conversion of buildings constructed before 1991 and expand eligibility to all areas where residential use is permitted. It would also enable non-residential buildings to be converted into various housing types, including supportive housing, dorms, or shared housing with common amenities. Key changes to adaptive reuse regulations include: · Expanding eligibility from central office districts to the entire city, allowing housing conversions citywide. · Moving the eligibility date to 1991, enabling more recent buildings to convert to housing. · Permitting conversions to different housing types, including supportive housing, shared housing, and dorms, beyond traditional apartments. #cityofyes #developmentsites #developmentsiteadvisors #nyc #weknowzoning

Design impacts emotions, emotion impacts actions, action impacts outcomes. When it comes to housing design, the unique and small details can mean the difference between a place to live and place to thrive. Efficiency is typically king when it comes to affordable housing. At The Gateway Collective, a first priority is socially connectedness. Design focused on fostering a sense of community What are we looking at in this picture? - 16 foot wide corridors - 18 foot tall ceilings - 6 foot tall double windows in each unit - skylights being installed next week throught the corridors and units Instead of a hallway, it becomes a neighborhood.

Housing options should be about quality and choice. And the planning system should safeguard where either of these is at risk. Co-living has its place when, as Damien Sharkey here highlights for Place North West, it is “well designed”, and “part of the solution” to a city’s housing offer.  https://lnkd.in/e4Wcmuwu

Having a town or city behind redevelopment and with a vision is key to getting really hard sites improved. Whitestown has seen this site as a eye sore but also an opportunity for years so they went all in to control and manage the next use. When cities dig deep and push as hard for an end result, they can be as much of the solution as any private group. Think the Monon Greenway that without Carmel involvement many of those projects could not have been redeveloped financially. Or downtown Fishers where you see high land prices but a market to go vertical and create a city center. Noblesville has the downtown park that has now attracted Old Town and a very nice mixed use development. Is your city doing public private partnerships to change its landscape for the next 100 years? #cre #redevelopment #commercialrealestate
