Global Energy Group’s Post

The Port of London Authority is calling on communities in Wandsworth, Barking and Dagenham, and Havering to share their ideas and ambitions for the River Thames in their area. All responses will be used by the PLA to inform its Tidal Thames Masterplan, which seeks to increase the river’s use for communities, businesses and recreation, as well as enhance its natural environment. Mike Atkins, Senior Planner at the PLA, explained: “We’re keen to give local people a chance to voice their opinions to guide future investment decisions that relate to the river in their area. Therefore, we want to encourage people who live in Wandsworth, Barking and Dagenham, and Havering, to consider the Tidal Thames Masterplan and put forward their thoughts and ideas on what should be included. We will also be engaging with the Greater London Authority, the Environment Agency, landowners and river-based businesses.” Learn more and have your say ➡️ https://hubs.la/Q02_LyZd0 #RiverThames #London #Kent #Essex #ThamesEstuary #PortOfLondon #ThamesVision2050 #TradingThames #NaturalThames #DestinationThames

Cheryl Jarvis MRTPI and Jonathan Cadd from our #planningteam, joined by colleagues from neighbouring councils alongside representatives from Historic England, recently participated in an insightful #heritage skills day.🏛️🤩 The day started with a presentation about working with historic buildings delivered by James Innerdale. This session discussed common problems with historic buildings alongside how to spot and solve them. The presentation was followed by a hands-on session where Conservation Stonemason, Paul Booth, taught them about #limepointing. Lime pointing is a way of repairing and maintaining #historicbuildings and, whilst there is a Heritage Officer already in their team, it’s helpful for Cheryl and Jonathan to also understand the process so they can better advise and inform people where necessary. 👏 All of the skills and knowledge they picked up during the day will assist them within their roles as part of the planning team, further boosting the team’s list of expertise.📚 Equans UK & Ireland - In Focus

Funding will regenerate Old Town Hall as digital hub One of Middlesbrough’s most historic buildings is set to be brought back to life for the thriving digital sector after funding for its restoration was secured. 🏦💸 https://lnkd.in/e-pCsx_t

Restoration works are well underway at the historic Tithe Barn in Upminster. Deputy Leader of the Council, Cllr. Gillian Ford, joined fellow councillors, partners, and Lexden Contracts Ltd for a site visit to see the progress firsthand. The £650,000 restoration project is funded by National Highways through the Lower Thames Crossing scheme, with additional support from a Historic England grant awarded earlier this year. This significant investment will help preserve an important piece of heritage for future generations to enjoy.

Macquarie Park Rezoning: What & Where? After being identified as an accelerated precinct under the government's much-talked-about transport oriented development program, a master plan for the precinct is on public exhibition. The government is proposing to rezone land for up to 4,622 additional homes, including a mandatory affordable housing contribution of between 10% - 15%. Certain sites within the precinct will get huge height increases, including up to 190 metres. Multiple sites have also been identified as 'Key Sites', meaning those sites can benefit from additional planning incentives. Next week, we will be writing about exactly which sites benefit from height and FSR increases. Join 7,500 + property professionals and get access to the info.

💪 I'm always proud of our amazing state. This particular moment makes me especially proud. The agreement to demolish the long-vacant coal plant along Bridgeport Harbor represents more than just the removal of an eyesore—it’s a strategic investment in the economic future of Bridgeport and Connecticut. Through $22.5 million in state funding from the Community Investment Fund, we’re not just clearing the way for new development; we’re paving a path for opportunity and vibrancy. This 33-acre waterfront site holds incredible potential to create spaces where people can live, learn, work, and play. It’s a chance to attract businesses, grow jobs, build housing, and enhance public access to one of Connecticut’s most beautiful natural assets—the shoreline. This project is about revitalizing Bridgeport and tapping into its vast potential as a hub for economic growth, environmental sustainability, and community vibrancy. By unlocking this site for redevelopment, we’re not only addressing decades of environmental challenges but also creating a destination that will draw visitors and investors from across the globe. The transformation of this property signals a brighter future for Bridgeport and demonstrates what’s possible when we prioritize equitable, strategic investments in our cities. This is yet another definition of what it means to "Make It Here." #Connecticut #MakeItHere #Development #Vibrancy #Sustainability | Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development | State of Connecticut - Office of the Governor | CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection | Katie Scharf Dykes | Daniel O'Keefe | Matthew J Pugliese

At Arcwell Developments, we thrive on high-stakes projects that demand agility, precision, and a strong commitment to the communities we serve. Last winter, we put those qualities to the ultimate test with a critical housing project in rural Nova Scotia, battling extreme conditions to deliver lasting solutions.🌨️ 🔨 Project Snapshot: We were tasked with constructing insulated concrete form (ICF) foundations for six modular homes in a remote community facing urgent challenges. With high storage fees accumulating and essential funding at risk, our team mobilized quickly to tackle this ambitious project head-on. 💪 Overcoming Challenges: Extreme Winter Weather: Starting construction in the heart of winter wasn’t easy, but we embraced the challenge. In addition time Constraints and the pressure of impending deadlines kept us focused and efficient. 🌱 Fostering Community Connections: Engaging local trades was crucial. By involving community members, we not only built homes but also created job opportunities and fostered pride in ownership. ✅ Impactful Results: We completed the project on time and within budget, delivering financial relief and enhanced housing stock & quality to our community partner.
