CMA Planning have secured approval at Hackney Planning Committee for two applications, both Borough Estate Regeneration projects on the Frampton Park Estate, and both designed by Henley Halebrown Rorrison. The first is a three to five storey building to replace the former Frampton Arms pub on Well Street, providing 20 flats, whilst the second is to redevelop Lyttelton House with 25 flats in a five-storey building. 78% of the 45 new homes will be affordable.

CMA Planning have submitted an application for the redevelopment of 25-37 Rothbury Road, in Hackney Wick to the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC). The scheme, for Aitch Group and designed by Hawkins Brown Architects contains 7000 sqft of commercial space with 23 homes above. The development forms the final part of the redevelopment of this urban block by Aitch, which when completed, will deliver 60,000 sqft of commercial space and 181 new homes.

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets Strategic Planning Committee has voted unanimously in favour of this proposal, located next to Queen Mary University at Mile End. 

The development, for Scape Living and designed by Stephen Marshall Architects includes two separate four storey podium blocks of student apartments – the easterly block flanked by two eight storey towers rising from the podium level and the western block by an eight storey block and a ten storey tower, all containing 412 student rooms along with associated kitchen/diners and communal facilities.

CMA Planning have secured planning permission from the London Borough of Hackney for this scheme on Gransden Avenue, in London Fields. The scheme was designed by Guy Hollaway Architects for Gransden Avenue Ltd and includes 42 new homes and 2041 sqm of new commercial space. 

A key aspect of the design is the flexible commercial space, spread through the site. These spaces provide units that allow creative and like-minded individuals to collaborate and share ideas in this thriving area of ‘creative’ Hackney. Above these commercial spaces are two residential blocks, with a raised garden, whilst situated to the south of these two blocks is a new terrace, with commercial spaces at street level and residential units above.
