CANADA WATER MASTERPLAN, LONDON BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK, LONDON, SE16

Agency: Herbert Smith Freehills

Canada Water was one of the largest planning permissions granted in the UK in 2020.

We helped British Land secure a flexible permission supported by a 600+ page planning agreement that will deliver huge local community benefits.

Permission was granted at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. We had to pivot quickly to the challenges of virtual working to avoid delays to the project, which frequently required our team to go the 'extra mile'.

Defeating a judicial review without a full hearing demonstrates our ability to manage risks and deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients on their most ambitious projects.
