Resident-led Design of a New Development
What was the ask?
Hadley Property Group are currently working up proposals to repurpose a now-defunct office building for mixed used – i.e. homes, community spaces, retail, workspaces and more. They wish to understand the wants and needs of the local community, and bring resident voice in to the shaping of the design for the site
What did we do?
We have undertaken community research with residents and local groups to understand the lifeblood of the area, the local assets and the gaps in provision that the site might address.
We are running a series of co-design workshops with residents and the design team for Hadley PG and other partners. These workshops will cover a wide range of elements in the site from accessibility and navigation to safety to the facilities and amenities that residents want to see.
What will be the outcome?
Outputs from the co-design session will help to inform the plans being developed for the site. The ambition is that what is proposed truly reflects the wants and needs of the local community.
