Prime Place/ Be:here
This residential development is located on the Brentford Football Club’s site. It includes 910 apartments, in 12 tower blocks from 7-17 storeys. The project also involved public realm improvements, car parking & commercial development, including a hotel. We provided expert advice to guide our client’s team through the complicated and lengthy statutory approvals & planning process, enabling the project to progress to the construction stage. We were also appointed to act as the Responsible Engineer for the contractor & prepared the ‘Approval in Principle’ documentation – successfully resolving several queries from Network Rail to gain the necessary approvals required to give the project funders confidence. A key challenge involved the major sewer running through part of the site. We designed an innovative solution to obtain a buildover consent and diversion agreement by providing Thames Water access under the site, without having to actually enter the site itself.
