NLP prepared Planning Briefs for twelve school sites across the London Borough of Waltham Forest as part its Building Schools for the Future (BSF) Programme. BSF is a major Government school buildings investment programme, which aims to rebuild or remodel every secondary school in England and Wales.

The Briefs will guide the future development of the schools, including the relocation of existing schools to new sites, extensive rebuild and refurbishment as well as small scale extensions. The Briefs address the range of planning issues and constraints that arise, including playing field designations, flood zones, heritage issues, archaeological areas, green belt and ecological considerations.

NLP also organised the associated public consultation, including public exhibitions, and liaised with the relevant statutory consultees. NLP's Graphics Team desk top published the Planning Briefs and designed the associated exhibition material.

NLP Director, Neil Goldsmith commented “this is an exciting opportunity and we are pleased to be able to assist the London Borough of Waltham Forest to facilitate the improvement of schools within the Borough through the preparation of Planning Briefs”.
