When the developer initially engaged GAA Design, they had a compelling challenge on their hands: to reevaluate an existing planning consent for a site that had been previously approved for the construction of 20 units. The original scheme had been meticulously crafted within the tight constraints imposed by the presence of an existing railway to the west of the site. However, there was a new twist to the project—the client had successfully negotiated the acquisition of this western portion of land adjacent to the railway. This acquisition opened up exciting opportunities for enhancing the approved scheme.

GAA Design, renowned for their innovative design thinking, embarked on a comprehensive review of the existing consent, taking into account the newly acquired land. This marked the beginning of an intricate design process aimed at optimizing the site's potential while adhering to regulatory and safety considerations.

The design team meticulously examined the project from all angles, leaving no stone unturned. They brainstormed and developed several concept schemes, each strategically tailored to make the best use of the expanded site. These concepts were not mere blueprints but thoughtful proposals that considered the needs of the developer, the community, and the practicalities of construction.

In a collaborative spirit, GAA Design engaged in extensive discussions with the Local Authority, ensuring that their vision aligned with the governing body's regulations and requirements. These dialogues were critical in refining the proposed schemes and addressing any concerns that arose during the planning process.
