Howard Group was invited to undertake the remediation, promotion and disposal of a former asbestos factory in west London by the executors of the Robert Beldam Estate, on behalf of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge and other beneficiaries.
In order to undertake this complex and highly sensitive process a joint venture was developed with Teesland IDG to form Howard Teesland Ltd.
Howard Teesland Ltd undertook remediation works on the 6.5 acre site to remove asbestos, hydrocarbons, Toluene and Japanese Knotweed.
Simultaneously, a project team including Hamiltons Architects and EC Harris was assembled to prepare a masterplan and a detailed planning application for a mixed-use residential and industrial scheme.
