I represented a London multi-let workspace operator at Waltham Forest's Development Management Policies and Core Strategy Submission, promoting flexible commercial policies to protect and evolve employment sites.

In 2011, I represented a London-based commercial property company with a substantial multi-let workspace portfolio at the Waltham Forest Development Management Policies and Core Strategy Submission.
The simultaneous submission of both documents provided a substantial opportunity to engage with both the strategic and detailed policy frameworks governing commercial development across the borough.
Waltham Forest contains a range of established commercial and industrial locations that are important to the local economy, and the representations focused on ensuring that both the core strategy and development management policies supported the retention and evolution of managed workspace.
Flexible policies that allow commercial landlords to respond to occupier demand — without requiring planning permission for every minor change — are essential to maintaining viable and productive employment sites.
Engaging across both submission documents ensured that the representations were comprehensive and mutually reinforcing, strengthening the overall case made on behalf of the client.
