Our approach
Our approach
We have worked together with the varied Mayfair communities and people across London, to transform Grosvenor Square intro extraordinary urban garden. Designed and governed collaboratively with its neighbours and other London communities, we aim to show how green spaces in cities can work harder for nature and the wellbeing of those who rely on them.
Alongside the ambitions of this specific project, in 2020 Grosvenor launched a Community Charter called ‘Positive Space’. This aims to set a new standard for public engagement across our business and ensure communities have a meaningful voice in the future of their neighbourhoods. There are four strands of this Community Charter – Listen first; Open up; Make it easier; Be accountable – and it was our intention to ensure that this project meets all of them to the highest standards and that everyone has a say in the process.
To find out more about the engagement programme ahead of submission, please refer to the ‘Statement of Community Involvement’. This is a document we have produced as part of the planning application to provide a summary of public engagement to date and explains how feedback received helped shape the submitted proposals.
Since planning permission was granted in 2022, BDP were appointed as Lead Designers to take the design delivery forward. Ahead of us starting on site, we continue to keep neighbours informed through the Mayfair Community Newsletter which you can sign up to here.
