I engaged with the Hillingdon Core Strategy on behalf of a London multi-let workspace operator, advocating for flexible employment land policies to support commercial investment in this outer London borough.

In 2011, I engaged with the Hillingdon Core Strategy consultation on behalf of a London-based commercial property company with a substantial multi-let workspace portfolio.
Hillingdon encompasses a diverse range of commercial environments, from established industrial estates to mixed-use town centres, and the core strategy set the overarching policy direction for managing employment land across these varied contexts.
Representations focused on promoting flexible, responsive planning policies that would allow commercial landlords to adapt their sites to changing market conditions. In a borough where the commercial property market is significantly influenced by proximity to Heathrow and the M25 corridor, ensuring that planning policy supports rather than constrains commercial investment is essential.
The core strategy representations helped ensure that the client's interests were clearly articulated within the policy framework, providing a strong basis for any future planning applications at their Hillingdon sites.
