….and we're back! We start the new year by sharing an interesting piece about eco-friendly gardening predictions that are very up Motion's street! 🏡 So, is the old trend for paving over our green spaces to make way for parking about to be reversed? According to the RHS, some gardeners now want to prioritise #EV and #floodprotection measures as a direct response to the #climatecrisis. Wishing you all a very successful 2025! https://lnkd.in/e9PdgGWy

In case you missed it, our latest 20 Stories feature celebrates the sporting efforts some folk at Motion have gone to, in support of the many and wondrous charities over the years. Our people have not only come out to brave mud runs, triathlons and five aside footie, they’ve also been seen attempting to perfect their swing on the fairway, all in aid of some very deserving causes. Please let’s also give it up for those charities on the frontline this Christmas. We humbly salute the incredible work you do, 365 days of the year. 👏 🙏 👍 And don't forget to stay tuned for more of our 20 Stories in 2025! #motionis20 #20stories #charitysupport #corporategiving #transportplanning #floodrisk #drainagestrategies #waterneutrality #highways #travelplanning #developmentplanning #infrastructuredesign #expertwitness #section278 #propertydevelopment

One of Anesco Ltd’s first battery energy storage systems to be developed in Scotland has been granted planning approval. Motion supported the renewable energy developer with #highways and #transport advice for the facility near Rothienorman. Find out how the team overcame the challenges of access, visibility and HGV manoeuvrability to help steer the proposal to a successful outcome: https://lnkd.in/ebDDk7sx #transportplanning #visibilitysplay #renewableenergy #sweptpath #batteryenergystorage Andrew Nock John Russell

Christmas is the season of giving, so it seems fitting that for our last 20 Stories feature of 2024 we take a moment to commend the lengths some folk at Motion have gone to, in support of the many and wondrous charities over the years. Our people have not only come out to brave mud runs, triathlons and five-a-side footie, they’ve also been seen attempting to perfect their swing on the fairway, all in aid of some very deserving causes. While we have huge respect for our dedicated team members who’ve put their physical and mental endurance to the test, please let’s give it up for those charities on the frontline this Christmas. We humbly salute the incredible work you do, 365 days of the year.

What a fantastic way to start the week. Congratulations to the whole project team for this appeal result. #sustainabletransport #propertydevelopment #housing #newhomes
Appeal allowed in the London Borough of Bromley. Lanpro have secured planning permission on appeal for 26 homes at Darrick Wood Estate in Orpington for Keniston Housing Association. The appeal was made against the refusal of planning permission by the London Borough of Bromley (against an Officer recommendation for approval) in May 2023 and the appeal focused on three main issues: 1) the effect of the proposal upon open space; 2) the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers including outlook; and 3) the site’s location and whether the proposals made adequate provision for promoting sustainable transport and the minimisation of greenhouse emissions. Working with Ayre Chamberlain Gaunt Ltd, BPTW, LUC, Corylus Ecology, Motion Consultants, XCO2 & Red Loft, we prepared the Statement of Case addressing the reasons for refusal through the written representations route. On the main issue, the Inspector considered that Site 1 represented an informal recreation and amenity open space that provides informal recreational opportunities for the local community. It was recognised that the new play area on Site 1 and enhancements to Site 2 would represent “..a significant quantitative and qualitative enhancement, given the fact there is no equipped play provision within the estate” and that “..the proposal would not result in a shortfall of amenity open space across the estate as a whole, and the provision of two equipped areas of play for wider public use, equally accessible to all residents would be a significant enhancement to wider provision within the estate.” Jill McGregor, Regional Director of Planning said “We are delighted with the decision which will deliver 100% affordable housing alongside play and landscape improvements which secures a 0.54 UGF and a 11.09% biodiversity net gain.” #planning #affordablehousing #biodiversity #appeal

We've been privileged to support a number of clients in a run of successful appeals during 2024, some of which have put our highways and transport planning skills to the test. Here, we share one recent example: https://lnkd.in/gUseak7B David McMurtary #transportplanning #highways
PLANNING SUCCESS! Another Appeal win for Chartwell in the Greenbelt on Friday, this time in Tatsfield. Scheme for 3 homes replacing existing private stables with stunning views. Planning was recommended by Tandridge's planning department but NIMBY's managed to convince the committee on the night to reject the application which was poor form given Tandridge desperately need housing and only have a 1.92 year housing supply. Anyway, justice has been served, Appeal determined within 5 months and 2 weeks from submission which is encouraging. Planning wouldn't have been possible without the support of our usual dream team consisting of Richard Tuxford (Architecture), Sophie Higgins MCIEEM (Ecology), David McMurtary (Highways), Canopy Consultancy (Trees) and BRY (Energy). A healthy construction pipeline for 2025/26 with some larger 50 - 100 unit projects about to be submitted. More Land required martyn@chartwellpropertygroup.com / 01883 460460.
