Our office Brompton has a new friend! A new TfL Cycle Hire docking point is now available for use next to our office at Tower Bridge Road. With cycles available for hire 24 hours a day, all year round, visiting Tibbalds has never been so convenient or healthy for you!

Once again Tibbalds took part in this year's King Sturge Property Triathlon. Located at the fantastic Dorney Lake near Windsor, this is the UK’s fifth largest triathlon and will be one of the venues for the 2012 Olympic Games.

The Parochial Church Council of St Mary Magdalene & St David and development partner Thornsett, advised by Tibbalds, have been granted planning consent for a new community and worship centre, and enabling residential development fronting Paradise Park on Lough Road in Holloway, London N7.

Bracknell Forest Council this week adopted our Character Area Assessments document as one of its Supplementary Planning Documents and a basis for considering future planning applications in the Borough.

Consultation on proposals for a 33 hectare site to the west of Sittingbourne will take place between the 24th January and the 8th March 2010.

It has been a year of learning and professional development for Tibbalds.

Tibbalds’ very own ‘Wonder Woman’ Jennifer Ross took to the cooling waters of Windsor’s Dawney Lake on a sizzling Friday 3rd July to contend in the third Property Week Triathlon.  2,050 property professionals competed in the event, which raised more than £60,000 for the Children’s Trust and cancer charity Orchid.

­­An exciting new addition has arrived at the Tibbalds office: a tiny green bicycle. It’s fantastic, it takes us to meetings in London and provides a new perspective on site visits. While cycling to our colleagues and clients around London, the bike might take us along the river and through parks and gives us extra minutes of the sunshine rather than being stuck in the underground.

Last month, London Borough of Southwark adopted the Elephant and Castle Enterprise Quarter SPD and the Walworth Road SPD.

The transformation of the Elephant and Castle is an important part of Southwark’s regeneration strategy and the adoption of the Enterprise Quarter SPD and Walworth Road SPD is a further step towards creating a thriving and successful mixed-use major town centre, that is safe, full of vitality and accessible for all.

Tibbalds’ Urban Design Guidance for the Boroughs of Oldham and Rochdale has now been published and is being used by all those involved in driving forward the regeneration of the area.
