Our infill housing project at Derbyshire Street, Bethnal Green and rooftop housing development in Damien Street, Whitechapel both feature as exemplars within the adopted Tower Hamlets Central Area Good Growth Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). The document provides design guidelines to support the development of high-quality, small-scale housing projects in the central area of the borough. The SPD’s design guidelines are based on character appraisals of the area to ensure that residential developments on small sites are sympathetic to their surrounding context and that growth is achieved in a balanced and positive way.
We were also invited to take part in a workshop last year to help shape the design toolkit guidelines for the SPD.
