David Kemp, Director at DRK Planning Ltd, references Darwin to introduce his article on page x which explains how changes in the recent planning reforms offered the possibility of new permitted development rights and new use classes on a site previously deemed to be ‘frozen’ or off-limits for development. The result is a scheme with a £10m GDV that delivers £500k in value to a north London community as well as much needed additional housing for the area.
Experienced developer, John Howard, also references change during his recent presentation at a Qandor Developers Forum and in his guest article on page z in which he challenges some of us to adopt new strategies whilst recognising the challenges and risks.
