Building on our long-standing involvement in the design of PoundburyandNansledan, we were pleased to be appointed to undertake the detailed infrastructure design of the high street which will form the centre of the new town of Sherford. Sherford is located just to the east of Plymouth and has been planned to eventually include 5,500 new homes and over 80,000 m² of employment and retail space.

We've had a successful month with a number of our projects being granted planning permissions:

  • Reserved Matters Approval for the former Cummings Nurserysite in Cullompton.
  • Outline permission was granted for B2 commercial development at Peamore.
  • Planning approval was granted for a small development of 12 homes in Prixford, North Devon for local housebuilder Pearce Homes. We undertook our usual suite of engineering work to help overcome an objection on traffic and transport grounds for this site.

At the time of writing, work on our office expansion is well underway. It should be completed later this month and we look forward to showing you around the next time you visit.

And finally for this month's news update, we send our congratulations and best wishes to Alex P and Lizzie on the birth of their first son.
