BM3 has played a pivotal role in enhancing the development scheme for the Former Little Furze Primary School site. In comparison to the mix that was achieved in the outline permission, BM3 successfully delivered a greater number of houses compared to flats whilst maintaining the same total number of units. This adjustment not only meets the council’s housing needs but also aligns with local demand for family homes.


The unit mix across the parcel has been significantly improved, ensuring a more balanced and diverse housing offering. BM3 collaborated with engineers to develop a practical scheme for the steep terrain, ensuring it met both council and client requirements. This partnership allowed for innovative solutions to the site’s unique challenges, demonstrating BM3’s commitment to delivering a functional and aesthetically pleasing development.


Active participation in pre-application meetings and engagements with local residents allowed BM3 to gather valuable feedback and further refine the development.


From feasibility studies to the submission of the planning application, BM3 managed to complete the entire process in approximately six months. This efficient turnaround is a testament to our expertise and dedication to delivering high-quality, timely solutions for their clients.
