PROJECT CASE STUDY

School Road, Hove

Appointed as lead consultant prior to site acquisition, PPP supported Hyde from feasibility through to completion. Our role included viability analysis, planning strategy, build contract negotiation, party wall coordination, and site inspection. We chaired monthly progress meetings and managed handover. This town centre brownfield site was acquired by Hyde on the basis that the vendor would receive three new commercial units within the redevelopment. The site posed challenges including tight access, surrounding residential properties, and complex level differences.

We ensured all parties complied with HSG 168 for fire safety in timber frame construction. Our Principal Designers ensured the CPP detailed the timber frame classification and correct separating distances / measures to ensure no risk of fire spread during construction EWS1 surveys were arranged early resulting in the EWS1 certification being in place ahead of sales ensured no delays to conveyancing.
