ABI Unravels The Social Housing Review
ABI Building Data Limited has launched a new title that is heralded as a one-stop resource centre for contacts, major developments and essential information on the UK Social Housing initiative.
The preliminary content includes a detailed process zone explaining the overarching process from project inception through to implementation, complimented by more detailed information relating to a number of key topics including urban design, community engagement and participation, Environmental Impact Assessment and dealing with heritage matters.
The Guide will evolve rapidly over coming months, and when complete in the Autumn, the resource will be fully interactive, allowing users to exchange knowledge and share best practice.
Additional topic papers will be added to cover issues specifically relating to housing,social infrastructure, transport, planning obligations, financial viability and environmental sustainability.
Simon Leask, Head of ATLAS, says: "The ATLAS Guide illustrates the learning from our experiences in terms of the key factors behind successful planning processes".
"We hope that it can continue to evolve and learn from real world experiences of good practice to become an invaluable 'live' resource for both the public and private sectors".
The information contained in the Guide has been compiled by drawing on the experiences of the ATLAS team in dealing with large development projects across a variety of locations and contexts.
It brings together a wide range of information and signposts users to relevant policy guidance and best practice across a number of specific subjects.
Underpinning much of the information presented is the promotion of the principles of sustainable development and the appropriate consideration and embodiment of such principles within final development concepts.
