Carvil was appointed by Dolphin Living to assist its plans to bring forward a mixed-sure redevelopment of this warehouse site to provide 100 new homes in a Build to Rent application comprising 35% affordable housing and full reprovision of the 1,300sqm commercial floorspace.  In its role as public affairs and engagement advisor Carvil arranged two two-day public exhibitions and a series of meetings with key stakeholders including the relevant Cabinet members, ward councillors as well community groups such as the Wells Way Triangle TRA, the Friends of Burgess Park, Peachtree and Joseph Homes, the owners of the adjoining sites leading to a planning application being submitted in October 2019.  Following extensive feedback received during post-submission consultation a Local Development Study was undertaken by the Council to masterplan development in the area and as a result Dolphin Living made a series of revisions to the scheme that involved a further round of community engagement with key stakeholders. Those revisions were submitted in November 2021 which eventually led to a unanimous approval was granted by Southwark’s planning committee in September 2022.
