Welcome

Paul Drew Design is an urban design consultancy providing a range of services including master planning, residential and mixed-use design.

Although previously experienced in national and local design policy, the current workload involves the implementation of large scale master plans on the ground. This includes working with joint venture partnerships and others agencies in making best use of the new planning processes, including design codes.

Typical outputs are detailed master plans and briefing for developers and affordable housing providers on urban extensions and brownfield sites.

  Milton Keynes Western Expansion Area
The residential Design Code for the first phase of Milton Keynes Western Expansion has been submitted to the Milton Keynes Partnership for approval. The code is the briefing for a masterplan that contains around 1,000 dwellings and the infrastructure to support the first public open spaces and school. The code follows the 'Masterplan and Highway Design Code' which was adopted in June 2008.

The project was commissioned by Gallagher Estates who are acting as Strategic Developer and will be providing early infrastructure for the expansion area. Later Codes are being prepared by Paul Drew Design, Capita Lovejoy and Milton Keynes Council and will include the new town centre containing shops and services.

One of the main principles of the Western Expansion Area established by Milton Keynes Council was to promote a pattern of development that supports greater reliance on walking, cycling and public transport. This includes the clustering of mixed use development and community amenities along public transport corridors. The Design Code is consistent with this aspiration and is in harmony with policy. Furthermore, the code is routed in current thinking, as contained within 'The Manual for Streets' where place is in balance with movement requirements.

  Corringham Urban Expansion
Paul Drew Design is preparing the residential masterplan for the urban growth of Corringham, Essex. The plan is for a new neighbourhood that will provide new homes in close proximity to the emerging employment growth area of London Gateway. The neighbourhood includes a sequence of formal open spaces linked by tree lined streets. The scheme has the potential to expand into a continuation of the urban grid, if and when the local authorities wish it to.
