Hopkins Architects appointed to advise the Planning Department on the Waterfront 20 May 2006

The internationally renowned architectural practice, Hopkins Architects headed by Sir Michael Hopkins, have been appointed to advise and oversee all matters relating to design on St Helier’s Waterfront. Sir Michael’s team will review projects for individual buildings, public spaces, landscaping and other public realm schemes. The London based practice will advise on the merits of all buildings on the Waterfront whatever their height.

Hopkins Architects have been pioneers of British architecture since Sir Michael and Lady Patty Hopkins established the practice in 1976. They have a reputation for creating buildings that combine innovation and popular public appeal, often in a sensitive setting. They have become one of the UK’s leading architectural firms and consistently win major international awards, most notably the Royal Institute of British Architects' Royal Gold Medal. This year, Sir Michael has been voted by his peers as one of the world’s top five most admired architects in the 100 Survey published in the ‘Architects’ Journal’.

Waterfront SPG 21 April 2006

The Waterfront public consultation process closed on 27 March. Responses to both the Planning Department's framework document and the Sandover tall buildings study documents  have been independently reviewed by Chris Shepley, CBE, former Chief Planning Inspector and Past President of the Royal Town Planning Institute. His task was to analyse the responses and merge the two consultation documents into a single Supplementary Planning Guidance.
