John Woolstencroft
BA (Hons) DipArch DipUD ARB FRSA
Consultant
John’s keen eye for identifying development opportunities, sourcing potential sites, and securing project funding has been key to bringing many projects to life.
John approaches each new project with a view to maximising a site’s capacity, whilst identifying any potential issues through his extensive development experience and in-depth knowledge of the planning process. This approach provides clients with the confidence to secure sites in competitive bid processes. Crucially, John’s understanding of the financial priorities for development ensures a successful blend of commercial sense and design quality.
As demonstrated by his work in the private residential development sector and with affordable housing organisations, John has a particular interest in developing mixed use regeneration initiatives. Often this work — such as Ailsa Wharf in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets — seeks to address challenging socio-economic and housing needs through regeneration. Here, working with a consortium of landowners and developers, a planning consent was secured for 785 new homes across 2.4ha of heavily contaminated industrial land set within a mixed-use masterplan for the Poplar Riverside Housing Zone.
When not juggling the complexity of site negotiations, John enjoys clearing his head exploring the countryside with his energetic dogs.
