Conservation areas are sites of historical or architectural importance. Building and redevelopment can be a more complex process due to more planning regulations and constraints applying within such areas. However our highly trained staff have the expertise to address more challenging planning and design issues. We achieve the aims of our clients both on an aesthetic and functional level whilst adhering to regulations set out by the local planning authority.

A £16.5m development has been granted planning permission by the London Borough of Hackney’s planning committee. The vacant office block, 4-14 Spurstowe Terrace, is to be demolished. In its place a mixed use development will be built.

Renamed ‘The Terrace’ the 5 storey building will contain 24 apartments. 4 will be classed as affordable housing. The remaining space is designated for use as office units. Plus, at less than a minute from Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations, it has excellent transport links.

Cogress, the property investment company, and entrepreneur bank OakNorth are helping fund the project by financing a debt finance deal to property developers Urbanista.

Urbanista is behind a number of developments in London including The Jam Factory by Tower Bridge Road and Wheat Wharf in Shad Thames. Partner and Director at Urbanista, Michael Nagata said “As a developer focused on unlocking a property’s unique potential, we are excited to be working on this mixed-use development and look forward to its completion”.

Once completed ‘The Terrace’ will provide much needed housing in this increasingly popular part of London.
