"It is important for us to listen to the local residents and planners requirements and what they want from our developments. This is why we take extensive community consultation as part of the planning process, taking on board comments from local residents and interested groups. In our experience we find that this always works better for all parties in that the eventual development is something which new and old residents will be proud of."
Paul Mepham, Senior Designer at Rydon Homes.
We are keen to work in partnership with local communities in order to ensure that our developments provide a positive contribution towards the local area. We seek to create sustainable and balanced communities; developments with a sense of place rather than just bricks and mortar.
Our intention is to build bespoke yet integrated developments; neighbourhoods where people choose to live and which offer a range of different house types in terms of size, price and tenure. On each development our focus is on quality and sustainability which will stand the test of time.
Each scheme is site-specific with the site leading the design. Every site has its own constraints and each brings its own challenges, but the topography and the vernacular architecture strongly influence our designs.
Public consultation is carried out from the early stages of planning in order to engage local residents and key stakeholders, provide them with full information and encourage feedback. We believe that working with all parties will deliver schemes that are appropriate and, in the long term, will be considered by the community as an asset to the area.
We are proud of our long and successful track record of delivering planning permissions and overcoming legal issues, sometimes in sensitive locations. The open and professional approach we take has undoubtedly helped to ensure that agents and landowners alike have been happy to work with us.
