“The Stratford Centre is a thriving community shopping destination with an annual footfall of 24.5 million people. These plans will create a great place to live, shop, eat and spend time, both during the day and into the evening.”
Andrew Turton, Head of Retail, Catalyst Capital
“Thanks to Motion’s support, the redevelopment of a local eyesore will contribute to Walton’s regeneration, potentially creating around 140 full- and part- time jobs for the local area.”
Stephen Sibley, Managing Director, Martello Land and Property
“Motion’s advice was essential throughout the process.”
Godfrey Spanner, SnOasis
“Motion was invaluable in helping us understand the flow of people and traffic around the scheme, which could have presented challenges with convergence of rail, tube, bus, pedestrian, cycle and superhighway links at its apex. This, combined with a footfall of 26 million people a year, meant it was vital to have the right team to help us identify the potential for the scheme.”
Michael Whitney, Development Surveyor, Frogmore
“This was a complicated project within a constrained site, requiring a careful balance between the local authorities and TfL. Motion worked extremely hard to facilitate meeting everyone’s requirements.”
Emma Prichard-Selby, Founding Director, The Vesta Group Ltd
“The creation of a viable access was key to unlocking the development. Driven by the need for a robust transport analysis and access strategy, Motion’s advice was critical to gain support for the inner road leading into the scheme.”
Polina Pencheva, Associate, Morris+Company
“The Motion team was professional and helpful, producing more detail to satisfy the council and managing ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance. The work has also helped to provide the best experience for residents living in the marina.”
Katie Sullivan, Managing Director Brighton Marina Group Ltd
“Motion took the time to understand our business model and what we do.”
Kevin Fong, Head of Business Operations, Ozone Ice Rink
“It has been an exceedingly challenging technical design process to meet the requirements of Hampshire County Council highways department, and obtain approval for the temporary works to enable the roundabout to be constructed whilst keeping two-way traffic flowing. Motion has been very proactive during our long partnership, dealing with multiple iterations of the design.”
Richard Stibbs, Head of Planning and Technical, Martin Grant Homes
“Motion was integral to the positive engagement with TfL.”
Alice Sewell, Investment Director, Imperial College London
“Motion has been instrumental in helping us secure consent for our masterplan of circa 700,000 square feet of industrial and employment space. The hands-on approach, technical insight and relationship with Hampshire County Council has been indispensable.”
Tony Lawson, Partner, XLB Property
“We looked to Motion to help us manage the commuted sum negotiations. The team succeeded in delivering a result agreeable to all parties.”
