Refurbishment and retrofit

Refurbishing existing buildings offers a huge opportunity to reduce carbon in comparison with new-build. In recent years we’ve seen an increase in the number of commercial developers who want schemes to be reused as much as possible to meet planning policy requirements, as well as their own environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives.

At the same time, refurbishment brings a range of transport challenges. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for any project we work on and this is especially true for refurbishment projects. Older buildings are likely to have service yards which are no longer fit for purpose, structural issues such as columns which can’t be moved, or car parks which are too small for modern vehicles, to name a few of the issues.

As one of the leading transport consultancies for commercial development in London, we are able to provide an integrated range of services to help refurbishment development proposals achieve planning consent.
