CampbellReith is pleased to announce we are collaborating with Homes England and LDA Design on bringing forward this complex brownfield site in West Berkshire.
The site of the former Pirbright Institute for Animal Health is located on the outskirts of the village of Compton and has a wide variety of environmental related challenges including being located within the North Wessex Downs National Landscape. Due to previous uses, the site was found to be heavily contaminated, and Homes England have recently undertaken an extensive programme of demolition and remediation to clean the site up for future redevelopment.
Whilst the site has the benefit of an extant planning consent for the development of up to 160 homes, employment land, landscaping, associated infrastructure and the delivery of a wildlife area, an updated masterplan and planning application are being prepared to address phasing and delivery considerations.
The project requires a truly multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach to take it forward and we are very happy to be working once again with this successful team to provide a deliverable planning permission. CampbellReith is providing project management, civil engineering, drainage design, transport and Environmental Impact Assessment with LDA Design providing planning, masterplanning and landscape design from the Lot 2 DaRTS Framework Panel, TEP – The Environment Partnership providing ecology, BNG, arboriculture, LVIA, FLOH Consulting on energy, utilities and sustainability, and ACCON with respect to air quality and noise. Each of the team’s unique specialisms have been integrated into a single, cohesive strategy to drive success on this project.
The project is being jointly led by Tristan Tucker and Marian Cameron (CampbellReith), with Chris King and Susie Byrne MRTPI (LDA Design).
