The Lido – Valentines Park
Commissioned by Redbridge Council, the Lido in Valentines Park is the first new Lido to be built in east London in decades. Costing £11m, this project is part of a redevelopment of leisure facilities for the people of Redbridge.
The new Lido will help boost the local market and economy and provide a sustainable and social outdoor space for the people of the Redbridge area. Additionally, the new building and its facilities will contribute to the restoration of the heritage of Valentines Park.
The construction of the Lido in Valentines Park is committed to sustainability. Therefore, Encon Associates were appointed to provide Ecological Support, Landscape Architecture, Tree Survey, Thermal Modelling, Energy Assessment, Daylight and Sunlight Analysis, Acoustic Surveys, Traffic and Transport Assessment, and BREEAM before any construction works commenced.

We recently renovated a large early Edwardian home. Part of the planning approval was the need to obtain an excellent rating from BREEAM in our renovation. This covered everything from responsibly sourcing materials to energy efficient heat pumps and solar panels. Not being a developer the whole BREEAM process was very difficult to understand at first. Luckily we had Encon, and in particular, Glenn on our side. They provided invaluable advice and guidance, were reachable all the time and processed everything in a very timely manner. What was important was that we were able to seek their advice and counsel before we made key purchasing decisions. BREEAM is a complicated process and can seem overwhelming if unfamiliar with it. Having Encon on board with us had helped us achieve our goals of having an environmentally excellent renovation of a 1905 house.
