Mixed Use
Lanpro has considerable experience in the design and development of complex mixed use projects. Mixed use development seeks to increase the mix of uses within a given land area. This mixing and layering of use to optimize the use of land is seen by many Local Planning Authorities as the solution to many of our urban problems.
Mixed use developments are complex in planning and design terms although they do offer the opportunity to maximize the development potential of client’s land holdings. This is achieved through sharing facilities such as car parking and external space across different uses and activity periods to achieve greater development efficiency.
Europa Way, Ipswich

The Deal Ground and May Gurney Sites, Norwich
Lanpro are current formulating detailed plans for the redevelopment of the Deal Ground and May Gurney sites in Norwich. The sites combined are some 16 ha in area and are of great strategic importance in terms of employment, housing and sustainable regeneration, and represent a major brownfield development opportunity in Norwich. Norwich City Council considers that the comprehensive redevelopment of these sites is critical to the future regeneration of east Norwich and to the prosperity of the wider Norwich area. The Deal Ground and May Gurney sites are blighted by a series of complex and interrelated development constraints including flood risk, off-site highway, landscape and ecological impact issues. The sites are being promoted for major mixed use development comprising some 700 new flood resilient homes and external spaces developed around a new nature reserve and in accordance with the DEFRA backed LifE Project produced by BACA.
