Iceni Engagement have supported Lendlease through multiple Reserved Matters Applications on Elephant Park, the challenging redevelopment of the Heygate Estate in Elephant & Castle.
Ciron Edwards, Engagement Director, has coordinated all public consultation and community stakeholder engagement on the project for the past eight years. Extensive and consistent community and political engagement has helped the project move through the highly controversial masterplanning phase on the project that underwent high levels of public, political and media scrutiny, and onto a more productive phase where the last three Reserved Matters Applications have been granted planning approval under delegated powers.
Overall the project includes over 3,000 new homes, the largest new park in central London for 70 years, 31,750 sqm of business, retail, community and leisure space, and a new, council managed, leisure centre.
Iceni Engagement are pleased to be continuing to support Lendlease through the remaining phase of the project that is due to complete in 2025.
