We are particularly pleased to note that Coronation Square, a joint venture development between Waltham Forest Borough Council and Taylor Wimpey East London (https://www.walthamforest.gov.uk/content/coronation-square-leyton) has been granted planning permission. As with many urban developments, the local authority aspirations for the site were challenging. As well as 750 housing units, shops, surgeries, sports facilities, and public realm, including opportunities for food production and well-being practice, they are committed to providing a net gain in biodiversity, in line with emerging planning policy. We have provided ecology support for the proposal which has included ecological appraisal and proposals relating to the creation and management of habitats including biodiverse green roofs.
This development adds to the range of London projects we are involved with, from schools in West London, to the currently in construction Wick Lane development in Stratford. We are also supplying townscape analysis for a high-rise development in South London and providing landscape design assistance to a Hindu temple in West London. Nothwithstanding, the combined effects of Brexit and the COVID-19 lockdown, London development continues apace, and we are excited to be providing landscape and ecology assistance to these proposals.
