Key Masterplanning Appointment for PRP

08.05.2001

Leading urban regeneration specialist, PRP Architects, has been appointed by LB Newham to take forward to the next stage plans to redevelop the Brooks Estate in Plaistow, east London.

This 1960s built estate comprises five tower blocks and mixed low rise accommodation providing a total of 900 homes. The area has been awarded £54.6m of government funding, through the NDC, to improve health, education and employment and to reduce crime in the area.

PRP has already carried out a six month consultation exercise on the Brooks Estate and this experience is one of the reasons for the practice’s appointment. During the consultation exercise, weekly meetings were held in an estate-based consultation ‘shop’. More than 250 households in the area commented on the subsequent designs, which were then changed to reflect local concerns.

PRP’s latest commission in Newham will see these proposals developed in more detail, with a view to submitting an outline planning application in Autumn 2001.

PRP will be part of a team which includes Alan Baxter Associates, consulting engineers, and Frost Associates, quantity surveyors.
