Beatrice Tate BSF School

The Project

The local authority required a BREEAM Assessment “Excellent” rating of 70% for the Beatrice Tate School in London. This was to comply with the planning consent for the relocation of the existing Beatrice Tate School.

The Solution

Encon Associates were commissioned to complete a BREEAM Education assessment and to provide BREEAM AP (Accredited Professional) services, in order to mitigate the planning conditions and to achieve such a BREEAM high rating of Excellent. Encon Associates provided the BREEAM AP services from the early RIBA stages, in order to establish what was required to meet the high rating and to ensure the target could be achieved. By chairing several additional BREEAM AP meetings, Encon Associates were able to guide the design team to eventually exceed the 70% requirement and achieve an “Excellent” rating of 80.47%.

In my capacity of a new homes developer ‘Fenwood Estates Limited’ I have been working with Encon for over 10 years now. For every new site Encon have designed a full landscape scheme ticking all of the relevant planning boxes, in previous times they supported Fenwood with the roll out of the Code for Sustainable Homes across our sites and in more recent times with the Ecology and Bio Net Gain elements that we require, they have conducted surveys, reports and calculations to support all of our planning applications. The team are amazing, easy to talk to, quick to react when required and cost effective to say the least. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Encon Associates to anyone in the industry, they certainly give a 5 star service as a minimal!
