TATA Steel development recognised as 'exemplar'
Exemplar, a programme run by Constructing Excellence Wales and BRE has recognised TATA Steel stores, visitor centre and training centre as an Exemplar case study.
The Exemplar Programme combines the core principles of Rethinking Construction and the Low/Zero Carbon Sustainable Construction Agenda in an exciting new initiative.
An ‘Exemplar’ is defined as ‘something worthy of being imitated or copied’. The TATA steel development, designed by Powell Dobson Architects has been showcased as a good practical example of how to achieve Best Value Sustainable Construction solutions.
The Urbanists prepared and managed the planning process in a very short timescale, gaining planning approval in just over three weeks. This involved a careful pre-application process with close contact and engagement with LPA prior to submission. You can read more about our involvement here.
