Creating Sustainable Living Environments
HPP are the leading planning consultants advising on live/work development in the UK. Teamed with the Live/work Network we are advising ODPM as part of it's review of PPG4.
Live/work development consists of the provision of segregated living and working accommodation in a single self contained unit. The units are purpose-built to accommodate live and work space making them significantly different from the traditional concept of living and working.
The live/work unit concept is backed by the advances in technology and telecommunications as well as the Government initiatives to encourage mixed-use development, tackle traffic congestion and reduce the need to travel.
Recently, social shifts in attitude to traditional working patterns and demand for more flexible lifestyles have spread across the UK.
HPP has recently achieved planning permission for the largest rural based live/work, mixed-use development in the UK. The scheme provides 74 live/work units along with a mix of market residential, key worker dwellings, B1 office accommodation and a restaurant. The scheme is situated on Swindon Road, Malmesbury, Wiltshire and was undertaken on behalf of the Minton Group.
HPP also works in tandem with the Live/Work Network in the UK providing planning guidance on the delivery of new Live/Work sites throughout the UK.
