Team
A new team was specifically created for the project. The Scottish Government took the lead role, with support from the Architecture and Transport. East Renfrewshire Council was led by the Head of Planning, and represented by planners (development control and development plans), an engineer, a traffic safety engineer and building standards. Mactaggart & Mickel Ltd selected the architectural firm Proctor and Matthews, not only for their award winning track record of housing layouts and design, but also because they were accustomed to working closely with the engineering firm Waterman Boreham. Together, they were responsible for re-designing the masterplan, delivering the technical requirements of the detailed design and achieving Road Construction Consent. Horner + Maclennan were appointed as the landscape architects. EDAW and WSP were invited to be part of the team, as they had previously worked on the production of PAN76 on Residential Streets and the forthcoming Designing Streets.
