The commissions for Honeypot Lane covered early masterplanning exercises to the design, consent and delivery the first phases of development. The site was characterised by the huge number of complex issues including; leases, flooding, access and boundaries with industrial and railway land. The sustainability credentials for the residential led, mixed use masterplan extended to the houses and flats with maximum of 4 storey construction, timber framing, no basement dig and little dedicated parking. The plan form was a response to connections and movement across the site. Use of car storage is only the second time it has been seen in the UK. A number of character spaces use an urban pattern language of avenue, crescent and waterside, each using a limited palette of forms to create great places to live. Uses on site, like retail uses, nursery and office accommodation, supplement facilities for the 800 dwellings like playspaces, and courtyards
