Challenge
Royal London House in Wilmslow is being redeveloped as a residential-led mixed-use scheme, with Build-to-Rent (BtR) homes, flexible commercial space and new public realm. The site presents a range of environmental constraints, including biodiversity and landscape considerations, noise from Alderley Road and the nearby railway, and potential impacts on surrounding heritage assets. The challenge is to unlock the brownfield site while responding carefully to these constraints and creating a sustainable new neighbourhood that connects with the wider town.
Solution
G&T is providing Cost Management, Project Management, and Principal Designer & CDM Consultancy services, helping to coordinate the scheme as it progresses through planning and enabling works. Environmental Impact Assessment screening and scoping informed the preparation of Environmental Statements, allowing likely effects and appropriate mitigation measures to be considered alongside the evolving design. Our role is helping bring together cost, programme, design and health and safety considerations so that key decisions can be made with a clear understanding of the project’s wider environmental and delivery requirements.
Outcome
The scheme is progressing towards the delivery of Wilmslow’s first Build-to-Rent neighbourhood, broadening housing choice while introducing flexible commercial space, new amenities and improved public realm. The redevelopment will also open the site to the wider public through new connections and accessible green spaces. G&T’s combined service solution is helping the project move forward in a coordinated way, while sustainability targets including BREEAM UK New Construction Residential four-star and Royal London Asset Management standards are embedded into the developing scheme.
