Co-location

A mixed-development model, where new homes sit alongside light industrial, retail and offices. Bringing opportunities and challenges, and requiring careful planning and consideration. Transport becomes the key to balancing the competing demands of residential and industrial land use.

In Momentum City we think about co-location as…

a growing part of the ever-evolving industrial sector

a way to deliver additional capacity in challenging urban sites

a place where transport can unlock opportunities to use city land differently

a shared, safe space for all its users

We take inspiration from the London Plan which highlights:

Industrial activities should not be compromised for continued efficient function, access, service arrangements and days/hours of operation 

Residential elements must provide design mitigations which consider:

Safety and security

The layout, orientation, access, servicing and delivery arrangements of the uses in order to minimise conflict

Design quality, public realm, visual impact and amenity for residents

Agent of change principles

Vibration and noise

Air quality, including dust, odour and emissions and potential contamination.
