Through strategic communications and effective engagement across the country, Newington has recently helped a number of clients secure planning consents. We are very proud to have helped our clients on such projects involving all tiers of local government and various communities.

• Thornsett Group with the Purley Baptist Church secured planning consent on its mixed-use development in Croydon. The scheme includes 220 homes, a new Church, community facilities and a sports hall.
• Peel Group secured planning consent to deliver a £15 million regeneration project including the renovation of the Peel Centre and the construction of a new megastore for a major retailer. Despite the recommendation for refusal, cross-party support at Gloucester City Council saw the scheme approved. See here for more detail.
• Sav Group secured planning consent to deliver a 32 bedroom HMO development for the private rented market. The scheme was approved at Harrow Council.
• Bellway Homes secured planning consent in Rainham, Essex. The scheme for 46 homes was unanimously approved by Havering Council.
