RCKa is creating a Process Guide, based on our public sector experience, that promotes investment in diverse community assets for sustainability, outlines practical principles, and includes a Terminology Toolkit to foster effective engagement among clients, designers, and community groups.
RCKa recently set out new guidance for Ealing Council, highlighting ways in which MMC can be used to deliver high-quality affordable homes and temporary accommodation on small sites across the borough.
Building on our previous research – which investigated the quantity size, and ownership of the city’s golf courses – we’ve now taken a look at how these spaces might be used to better serve a larger proportion of Londoners.
RCKa conducted a detailed analysis of Lewisham’s wards, creating design guides for small sites that offer technical guidance and strategies for identifying development land, optimising design within constraints, addressing climate issues, and respecting heritage and conservation.
RCKa’s guide to unlocking small residential development sites summarises relevant planning policies and showcases case studies demonstrating their assistance to public and private clients in creating attractive housing on challenging urban and suburban sites.
