St Edward obtained planning permission for 530 units with their concept architect. Design Delivery Unit were appointed to optimise the planning permission and deliver the scheme, whilst safeguarding the original design concept.

The scheme was intended to be clad with traditional handset masonry. This however did not meet our client's programme and alternative solutions were required. We opted to go with Stonelite. They used a stone veneer on honeycomb backing. This meant we could have three sided shapes and larger formats, reducing the number of joints and enhancing the solid appearance of the stone facade. During the later stages of delivery a further storey was added to the later blocks.
