106 Bexley Road

Project Overview

We undertook the challenge of transforming a site with a complex planning history into a successful residential development featuring 16 new apartments.

Challenges

Initially, the site owner engaged a large national architectural practice based in London to develop a scheme for the site. However, this application was rejected at the planning stage, and a subsequent appeal was also dismissed. Despite this setback, we saw the potential in the site and took a fresh approach.

Planning

We began with a detailed analysis of the existing site, thoroughly reviewing the refusal notice and the appeal report from the previous scheme.

This detailed examination allowed us to understand the specific issues that led to the rejection and to develop a new project brief that addressed these concerns.

Our new scheme for 106 Bexley Road has been carefully crafted to meet the planning requirements and align with the local context.

We have full planning approval from The London Borough of Bexley. This consent will now allow our developer client to demolish all but the front facade of the locally listed building and begin erecting the new build apartment scheme with just the historic façade retained.

Outcome

We are committed to overcoming the challenges associated with 106 Bexley Road, demonstrating our dedication to innovative problem-solving and design excellence.

By conducting thorough research and engaging in proactive dialogue with planning authorities, we aim to turn this previously rejected site into a thriving residential development.
