Lizzie Cowan, Urban Designer at Tibbalds, in partnership with university friend Megan Barrett, Architect, has been commended in the RIBA Forgotten Spaces competition 2011.  The competition encourages entrants to consider uses for underused and forgotten spaces within the Greater London area and generate ideas that could release their potential and benefit the local community.

Planning consent has been granted by London Borough of Islington for Derwent London’s proposals for the redevelopment of the south-west corner of Old Street Roundabout, to provide an exciting mixed-use development.

Every year Tibbalds close their office for a day and make a visit to a town or city that has undergone significant change. So on a Friday in September we all caught a train for a day trip to Margate. Members of the team had worked on a masterplan for parts of Margate just under 10 years ago and were keen to see what its impact had been.

Tibbalds were appointed by Wilmott Dixon to provide planning support for their competition-winning scheme to regenerate the Aberfeldy Estate, London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

The Tibbalds team recently visited Kings Cross to see how the redevelopment of the area is progressing.

Two 'Early Housing Sites' were recently shortlisted for the awards, in two categories.
