Residential
We focus on creating safe, sustainable, viable and integrated housing schemes
House builders, Local Authorities and housing associations come to us for our partnership approach and track record in the residential market. And we help our clients secure planning consent even when faced with economic, social or physical constraints.
Our specialists can be there at the start to support the feasibility, development planning and pre-application stages. They can be there during the planning application and mitigation design stages. And they can be there during implementation.
“We ended up with the perfect solution. The Council agreed to a shared loading bay for all deliveries, designed to cope with any potential backlog. The proposal takes into consideration the very narrow neighbouring streets and will ease congestion in Hanover Square.”
David Farries, Development Manager, Great Portland Estates Plc
“We ended up with a more reasonable parking allocation which enabled us to reduce costs and increase the profitability of the scheme. Motion’s technical knowledge and proactive approach were a big asset to us. We achieved a very sensible outcome.”
Rob Hardie, Land Securities
“We approached TPI (now part of Motion) to assist in compiling a full Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) to discharge a planning condition associated with the creation of a lightwell to serve a basement conversion. They produced the report in good time to the satisfaction of the local planning authority (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea), who are notoriously difficult to reach agreement with in respect of CTMPs.”

Ian MacKenzie, Bursar, Rydens Enterprise School
“The Stratford Centre is a thriving community shopping destination with an annual footfall of 24.5 million people. These plans will create a great place to live, shop, eat and spend time, both during the day and into the evening.”
