Introduction Our Projects
Our People
Sandilands Greater Manchester
Authority: Manchester City Council
Proposal: Planning application for school redevelopment
Services: Planning
Status: Under Construction
On behalf of Tilbury Douglas Construction and the Department for Education, Iceni Projects’ Manchester Office managed the planning application and public consultation process concerning the redevelopment of Sandilands Primary School, Manchester.
The existing school building was a sprawling single storey block. It was determined that the most efficient way to redevelop the site was to construct a new two storey building, followed by the demolition of the current building.
The scheme will provide a high quality building with twenty classrooms, SEN and Learning Resource spaces, a sensory garden, outdoor landscaped areas, alongside EV charge points and PV canopies to achieve ‘net zero carbon in operation’ status.
Managing the project from the pre-application stage through to determination, the team submitted the application in Spring 2023 and secured planning permission by September of the same year.
Iceni are retained to manage the discharge of condition process and completion is anticipated in 2025.
Laurus Grace Alternative Provision School
Greater Manchester
Authority: Stockport Borough Council
Proposal: Planning application for new alternative provision school Services: Planning
Status: Under Construction
On behalf of Tilbury Douglas Construction and the Department for Education, Iceni Projects’ Manchester Office managed the planning application and public consultation process concerning the construction of a new specialist ‘Alternative Provision’ school designed to cater for up to 80 pupils who are struggling with their emotional health and wellbeing, and who have Social Emotional and Mental Health Needs (SEMH). The school will be managed by the Laurus Trust, a multi-Academy trust operating highly academic schools across the North West.
The school is to be located on disused tennis courts on the western side of Hazel Grove High School, in Stockport, with its own outdoor playing field and car park, to be accessed separately to Hazel Grove High School.The planning application proposed the replacement of these tennis courts with brand new tennis and netball courts to be located on the eastern side of Hazel Grove school.
Iceni’s Manchester team managed the project from the pre-application stage through to its successful determination. Iceni are retained to manage the discharge of condition process and construction is currently underway.
All Saints High School Lancashire
Authority: Rossendale Borough Council
Proposal: Planning application for school redevelopment
Services: Planning
Status: Under Construction
On behalf of Tilbury Douglas Construction and the Department for Education, Iceni Projects’ Manchester Office managed the planning application and public consultation process concerning the redevelopment of All Saints High School, located in Rawtenstall, Rossendale.
The existing school building is extremely poor quality and in a state of disrepair. It was determined that the most efficient way to redevelop the site, and to ensure pupil learning is not disrupted, is to construct a new building on the playing fields of the school, allowing pupils to transfer across once complete, followed by the demolition of the current buildings at the end of the construction process.
The new school building will have two and three storey elements and will allow up to an additional 25 pupils. The new building will be sited on land that currently forms the existing 3 court Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) and on the northernmost part of the playing field with a long jump pit. The MUGA and long jump pit will be relocated and re-provided within the site.
The application was welcomed by members at planning committee and the resolution to grant was unanimous. Iceni are retained to manage the discharge of condition process and construction is underway.
Greater Manchester Institute of Technology
Greater Manchester
Authority: Salford City Council
Proposal: University Building Services: Planning
Status: Under Construction
On behalf of Tilbury Douglas Construction and the Department for Education, Iceni Projects’ Manchester Office managed the planning process for a flagship technology building for the University of Salford.
Iceni initially worked closely with the project team to establish a suitable site within the campus Masterplan area to accommodate the Greater Manchester Institute of Technology (GMIOT) building. Coordinating the wider planning project team, Iceni engaged with all of the relevant stakeholders to ensure that the building fulfilled the requirements of the University, the Institute of Technology, the DfE, the Council and the students, while enhancing the public realm and wider campus. This included advising the University’s communications team on their messaging around the project and responding to queries raised by the public.
Navigating the conflicting views of interested parties while ensuring that the proposals met the relevant planning tests and were viable for Tilbury Douglas to deliver, was challenging, and Iceni were delighted to secure planning permission within the 13-week determination timescales, working closely with the Council via a Planning Performance Agreement to keep all parties on track and accountable.Iceni are now advising on discharging planning conditions ahead of the building’s completion later in the year.

Longton Lane Primary School
Merseyside
Authority: St Helens Borough Council
Proposal: Planning application for school redevelopment
Services: Planning
Status: Under Construction
On behalf of Tilbury Douglas Construction and the Department for Education, Iceni Projects’ Manchester Office managed the planning application and public consultation process concerning the redevelopment of Longton Lane Primary School, located in Rainhill, St Helen’s.
Iceni’s Manchester team managed the project on a day to day basis and were able to lean on the support of the internal Impact Management team, to prepare and submit an EIA screening request.
Iceni managed the technical team to efficiently navigate complex planning issues including an objection from Sport England and comments from the Urban Design Team at St Helen’s Council. The team submitted the application in spring 2023 and were able to successfully co-operate with the council’s technical consultees, to overcome all technical matters and achieve planning permission by August the same year. The application was warmly received at planning committee by members and the resolution to grant was unanimous.
Rochdale SEND School
Greater Manchester
Authority: Rochdale Borough Council
Proposal: Provision of a SEND School
Services: Planning
Status: Under Construction
On behalf of Tilbury Douglas Construction and the Department for Education, Iceni Projects’ Manchester Office managed the planning application and public consultation process concerning the construction of a new specialist SEND school, to be located at the Heywood Sports Village, Rochdale.
The school is specifically designed to cater for children aged 11- 19 who have an EHCP (Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan) and a diagnosis of ASC (Autistic spectrum conditions) and may also have other needs such as communication and/ or sensory processing needs.
The school will be funded by the Department for Education (DfE) and operated by the New Bridge Multi Academy Trust. The planning application proposed the erection of a singular two storey building providing places for up to 76 students.
As the proposed site was designated as a playing field in the Rochdale Local Plan, the application was required to off-set the loss of the playing field area. The project team worked closely with the education and leisure departments of Rochdale Council to propose an off-site solution to mitigate against the loss of the designated playing field, proposing pitch improvements at other nearby playing field sites.
Ada Lovelace High School LB of Ealing
Authority: Ealing London Borough Council
Proposal: 4 Storey, new secondary school for 1300 pupils
Services: Planning | Engagement
Status: Approved and Close to completion (due mid 2020)
Iceni Projects further enhanced their education credentials by delivering planning permission for a desperately needed permanent secondary school for Kier Construction and to meet a challenging timetable. Iceni Planning, Transport, Engagement and Sustainability were all part of a large project team.
When fully open in 2021, the school will accommodate 1,300 pupils in a four storey building. The site was allocated in the Local Plan, but partially (the playing fields) remained in Metropolitan Open Land. The project team overcame a number of technical constraints including transport, noise, design, air quality and daylight/sunlight to deliver a scheme that was supported by officers.
Iceni Engagement scored a major success, with the application attracting over 400 letters of support. Even though there were nearly 100 letters of objections from local residents, including commissioning their own technical objection, the application was approved unanimously by Ealing’s Planning Committee.
Croxley Danes Secondary School | Hertfordshire
Authority: Hertfordshire County Council
Proposal: New state secondary school for approximately 1200 pupils

Requiring significant land shift on Green Belt land in order to provide on-site sporting facilities, Iceni successfully demonstrated Very Special Circumstances to Three Rivers District Council and worked closely with the Council throughout the planning period. Iceni Engagement lead on community and political consultation ensuring that local business owners and key stakeholders were supportive of the proposals.
Planning permission was granted in March 2018 on behalf on Kier Construction and the Danes School Trust.
Autistic Spectrum Disorder School |
Chigwell, Essex
Authority: Epping Forest District Council
Proposal: New state of the art Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) School
Services: Planning
Status: Approved
Iceni Projects, on behalf of the Anderson Foundation, obtained resolution to grant planning permission from Epping Forest District Council in December 2014 for the development of a new state of the art Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) School.
Following both officer and Area Planning Committee South recommendation for approval the application received overwhelming support from the District Development Control Committee.

Greenford LB of Ealing
Authority: Ealing London Borough Council
Proposal: 2,118 new homes; 20,710 sqm of flexible commercial and community floorspace, a new two-form entry primary school, new pedestrian bridge
Services: Planning | Transport | Engagement
Status: Approved
Iceni was instructed by Greystar to lead the preparation of a detailed application at the former GSK headquarters and former Sunblest bakery site in the London Borough of Ealing.
This application obtained approval for a residential-led mix of uses including: 1,965 new homes (including an element of affordable housing); 21,443 sqm of flexible commercial and community floorspace in use classes A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, B1, D1 and / or D2, a new two-form entry primary school, new pedestrian bridge across the canal, car and cycle parking, landscaping and associated works. Iceni has coordinated the planning application submission, including the Environmental Impact Assessment. The application was submitted in September 2016 following engagement with the local community, Council and GLA and approved at Committee in March 2017.
Iceni continues to act through the construction process with regards to the necessary planning conditions to enable prompt delivery on site, and most recently obtained approval of a Minor Material Amendment for an additional 153 homes enabled by, and helping to facilitate, a modular build.
Havering College LB of Havering
Authority: Havering London Borough Council
Proposal: Portfolio Management
Services: Planning | Transport
Status: CISIC Under Construction
Iceni Projects has been retained by Havering College of Further and Higher Education (HCFHE) over the past five years to advise on the rationalisation and redevelopment of its three primary sites across the London Borough of Havering. The College and Council have partnered across a portfolio of sites which they both own in order to deliver a range of regeneration benefits across the borough.
Most recently we have been advising both the College and the Council on the potential release of a Green Belt site for new residential development, this has involved making representations to the London Plan and the emerging Havering Local Plan.
We continue to advise the College on the implementation of a new construction skills building at its Rainham campus for which we recently secured planning permission as well as the potential disposal of part of the Ardleigh Green campus for alternative uses (including residential, a care home and custom-build housing) which would provide income to the College, enabling it to invest further in the main campus.
Harold Hill Learning Village LB of Havering
Authority: Havering London Borough Council
Proposal: Academy, Further Education College, Primary School and Special Educational Needs (SEN) School
Services: Planning
Status: Under Construction
As part of the wider Havering College of Further and Higher Education (HCFHE) campus sites, Iceni Projects supported proposals seeking the potential relocation of the Quarles Campus at Harold Hill and the incorporation of the College within the Harold Hill Learning Village.
This 35 hectare site included a new Academy, Further Education (FE) college, primary school and Special Educational Needs (SEN) school. In this instance we advised the various education bodies including the local authority and a new academy.
The project demonstrated the value of developing strong relationships between key bodies, in this instance a key local education provider and the local authority.
These relationships were of particular value when it was necessary to obtain the support of other parties, notably the Greater London Authority, TfL and Sport England. Having both Havering College and Havering Council aligned on key outcomes meant that these conversations were as positive and constructive as possible.
UCL Student Centre
LB of Camden
Authority: Camden London Borough Council
Proposal: Redevelopment of Vacant Site to Provide a Mix of Student-Facing Services with a Wide Range of Social Learning Spaces Under Use Class D1 Services: Transport
Status: Completed
Iceni Projects have worked closely with UCL over the past decade to help them realise their goal of redeveloping their Bloomsbury campus. The jewel in the crown of the campus redevelopment is the new student centre located on Gordon Street which will provide a focal point for study, events and student life.
The student centre opened in February 2019 and operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every single day of the year. It provides a number of essential facilities for students at UCL, including 1,000 study spaces, a café, group study rooms, quiet study rooms, a meditation room, a prayer room, a student enquiries centre and access to the new Japanese garden.
Iceni’s Transport Team advised UCL on transport matters producing a Transport Statement, Travel Plan and Delivery and Servicing Management Plan to support the application which involved extensive consultation with the Local Authority.

Emmanuel Community School | LB of Havering
Authority: Havering London Borough Council
Proposal: Application for reserved matters seeking approval of access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale in respect of a 2-form entry Primary School together with a 30 place FTE nursery Services: Strategic Planning
Status: Approved
Iceni Projects acted as planning consultant on behalf of Kier Construction to secure reserved matters planning permission for a 2-form entry primary school and nursery as part of the wider Beam Park development, secured by a hybrid planning permission in Havering.
Iceni Projects initially provided leading planning advice to Kier Construction throughout Education and Skills Funding Agency bid process and subsequently prepared and submitted the reserved matters planning application. Iceni managed a large applicant team and worked proactively alongside the Council to develop a proposal which made the most efficient use of land whilst aligning with the Beam Park Design Guide that was approved under the hybrid planning permission in 2018.
The proposals delivered the vision of the hybrid permission and provided a highquality primary school to serve the needs of new and existing residents. The school provides a civic presence to the new public square that is at the heart of the Beam Park development as envisioned by the Beam Park Design Code.
Parliament Hill School & William Ellis School Hampstead Heath
Authority: London Borough of Camden
Proposal: School for 1,250 pupils
Services: Planning | Engagement
Status: Under Construction
Iceni Projects advised the London Borough of Camden in connection with the part redevelopment and part refurbishment of Parliament Hill School and William Ellis School in Highgate. The project, funded by a £30 million investment from the Council’s Community Investment Programme (CIP), comprised a number of modern extensions which will provide several new wings for the schools, as well as vital refurbishments and remodelling of the old Victorian buildings and dining hall to create a 21st century learning environment.
Parliament Hill School, which caters to 1,250 pupils, will benefit from improved science rooms, sports facilities, dining rooms and a brand new teaching block. The works to the neighbouring William Ellis School involve a new-build extension for food technology, drama and music lessons, in addition to internal refurbishments and improved learning spaces.

North London Collegiate School | LB of Harrow
Authority: London Borough of Harrow
Proposal: Hybrid application - improve the school’s teaching and administration facilities.
Services: Iceni Planning, Engagement, Townscape, Impact, Transport
Status: Under construction
Iceni secured planning permission in September 2021 for a Masterplan to improve the North London Collegiate School’s teaching and administration facilities. The hybrid application was split into three phases over the next 15-20 years and includes new education and administration buildings as well as improvements to sporting facilities.
The Masterplan will deliver much needed facilities to improve the school administration and teaching spaces, as well as sports facilities and overall legibility through the site. The Masterplan particularly responds to a crucial need to improve female participation in science and engineering career fields. Phase 1 is currently under construction and creates specialised technical spaces for design, technology and engineering as well as additional teaching spaces for art. This new facility is designed to promote collaborative learning and is known as the IDEAS hub. The later phases of the Masterplan include improvements to sports, music, performing arts, drama and the junior school.
The Masterplan integrates new buildings with the existing facilities and respects the various designations of Metropolitan Open Land, listed building and conservation area status as well as the Registered Park and Garden status of the site and surrounds.
Other Relevant Experience
BARKING AND DAGENHAM COLLEGE
Iceni was instructed by Barking and Dagenham College to advise on the extensive refurbishment of part of its Rush Green Campus in Romford in order to deliver an advanced technology centre for higher and further education students. In order to raise the necessary capital to fund the refurbishment, Iceni assisted the College with the preparation of an outline planning application for residential development on surplus Green Belt land within the college campus. We assisted the College in developing a justification for the residential proposals on the basis of ‘enabling’ development for educational purposes and led negotiations with both the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and the Greater London Authority, whilst also promoting the site for release from the Green Belt through the Local Plan.
CARSHALTON COLLEGE
Iceni provided advice to Carshalton College on options for the improvement of their existing campus site in Carshalton, including the acquisition of adjoining sites and the re-planning of the campus, including new facilities and access routes. The site was constrained and had been subject to piecemeal developments over previous periods, and our work involved re-planning the campus looking at options for improved accessibility, new sporting facilities to support both the College and the local community, and the expansion of the College on to several adjoining sites. Our dialogue with both Sutton Council and the Greater London Authority gained support for the scheme and approvals were obtained to a tight timetable to ensure the deployment of funding.
CROYDON COLLEGE
Iceni provided advice to Croydon College regarding their education provision across London Borough of Croydon. We gave particular advice on a potential

Introduction Our Projects
Our People Added Value
Added Value SDS
Irrespective of the scale, complexity or societal benefits of a development proposal, it will always attract local opposition, which makes decision taking harder.
Iceni prides itself on formulating new, distinct and innovative tools and techniques for demonstrating why new development should be supported and why it will have positive transformational positive effects on communities.
We have developed our own techniques for formulating development proposals, operating at the local level within communities to identify how developments can have the greatest effect on peoples lives, and be delivered in a highly successful and sustainable way.
Added Value Iceni Intelligence
Whilst Iceni is a national consultancy, we pride ourselves on having a thorough local understanding of the communities we are seeking to change. We therefore have a suite of area based experts to understand, monitor and identify planning and political change across geographic areas.
This work extends beyond monitoring of Local Plans and considers issues such as the political composition and priorities of an area. Objectively Assessed Need and signs of market failure across the full use spectrum from housing, through employment to social and transport infrastructure. We also monitor significant planning decisions and the ways in which planning policies are applied in practice through casework decisions at Planning Committees and the Planning Inspectorate. This work greatly enhances the quality of the commercial advice we provide.

Added Value iSite
iSite pulls together a number of services to enable the promoter of a project – but equally the respective consultant, local authority, consultee, local community and wider interested party – to gain the knowledge and understanding of a site or location that historically has only been possible from an in-depth site visit. Moreover, many projects are of the size and scale that even a physical site visit renders difficult to comprehend.
The key focus of iSite is to provide an intelligent digital design and consultation tool. This incorporates the use of drone photography, 360° camerawork (think Google Street View for buildings), interactive, virtual consultation halls and project web sites that can pool together all of the information for effective file management and sharing. So whether you need to initiate an initial site survey appraisal, team site visit, pre-application meeting, public consultation event or committee presentation, iSite can help.
iSite wont be for everyone. We understand that. But if you are looking for cost-effective ways to progress with your proposals, it could be the answer.
Added Value Place
Sites don’t start with, and aren’t defined by, planning policy. They’re defined by people. And people bring a melting pot of ideas and opinions.
Not everyone will necessarily share the view that a site needs developing, regenerating or renewal, especially in areas undergoing massive amounts of change or those where nothing has happened despite the will to see it happen.
They are sites that often mean more to people than an abstract red line on an OS plan, where physical and social barriers override site boundaries. Where people have a connection to their incidental bit of city they call home.
They have a past, they have a present and a future. Just like people.
Iceni Place delivers an approach that welcomes all of these views, fears, hopes and dreams into a collaborative process built on listening. It starts with people, asking “What does success look like to you?” and ends with a legacy of better places.
Added Value Iceni Futures
The Iceni Futures team was set up in response to the rapidly changing world and the acknowledgment that more than ever, we need to create futureproofed and sustainable development. The teams role is to assess, predict and influence change across the development industry. In practice that means exploring how places and people will function in the future, analysing existing barriers and providing strategic advice which aligns with clients goals and aspirations to ensure development is fit for the future.
The team doesn’t claim to be experts in every new discipline or product, but they understand the existing barriers and outdated development processes that persist across the industry and the importance of working innovatively and smarter to deliver client visions and change that actually works. It’s understood that each client will need tailored advice and the Futures team look to work collaboratively to provide advice which is tailored to a specific site, company strategy or product. Essentially, if you’re looking to plan for or capitalise on the future, Iceni Futures can be there to support you and drive that ambition.
