There is a variety of different types and scale of development in Richmond and Wandsworth, from the iconic Battersea Power Station and the Ram Brewery to small residential extensions. The team works across both Councils, with an extensive CIL and S106 caseload administering CIL and monitoring S106 agreements that relate to this development.
