West Waddy Archadia (WWA) pledges support to the Housing LIN with ongoing sponsorship
We are pleased to announce that multidisciplinary practice, West Waddy Archadia (WWA) (opens new window) continues its support of the Housing LIN through sponsorship of its dedicated Planning Homes and Communities for Older People webpages.
WWA has extensive experience of architectural design and town planning consultancy for a variety of clients in the built environment. One of their specialisms is designing for older people and people with disabilities which has allowed them to gain great insight into how to design high quality spaces for people with varying requirements whilst assisting clients to navigate the increasingly complex planning system.
Ifti Maniar, Planning Director at WWA Studios, commented:
“We are witnessing an increasing need for developments specifically designed to
the needs of older people and people with disabilities. Varying and innovative models of supported living are emerging that do not always sit comfortably within existing planning use classes or planning policies which can impede the delivery of projects. We are proud to be supporting the Housing LIN and our clients to meet the social and health care needs of our nation.”
Mark Slater, Design Director at WWA Studios, shared:
“WWA are delighted to be continuing our sponsorship of Housing LIN particularly given our track record in the sector and our combined design and town planning knowledge which together enable us to be at the forefront of specialist housing. We are glad to support the Housing LIN which is an invaluable source of knowledge for the sectors we work in.”
Jeremy Porteus, CEO at Housing LIN, said:
“We are delighted to have WWA on board. With the government’s Adult Social Care Reform White Paper setting aside £300m over 3 years to support local communities to better plan to deliver accommodation that meet the health and social care needs of their populations, WWA support with help ensure our dedicated portal continues to provide useful information on both planning strategically for and more technical aspects of specialist housing for older people."
