Phased Development Plan & Approval Roadmap
A structured 9-phase capital delivery programme for HIGH PARK — THE MOUNTAIN. Progression through sequential statutory decision gateways from initial land identification to construction inspection and operational commissioning.
All timelines, cost estimates, and phase allocations are preliminary feasibility assumptions subject to formal ground investigations, market conditions, and statutory planning outcomes. This presentation does not guarantee investment, public funding, profitability, or construction approval. Moving between phases strictly requires satisfying the specified decision gates and evidentiary standards.
9-Stage Capital Delivery Sequence
Phase 1: Project Brief, Ownership Documentation & Candidate Sites
Confirmation of project brief, founder IP documentation, legal title verification, and comparative spatial screening of candidate London sites (Hyde Park Crown estate vs. East London brownfield docklands).
- •Compile founder project brief, core values charter, and copyright provenance documentation.
- •HM Land Registry title deed investigation for Crown Estate, GLA, and private candidate parcels.
- •Preliminary site screening matrix assessing footprint requirements (minimum 6.5 hectares).
- •Initial boundary identification and underground utility overlay mapping.
- •Access to official Land Registry title registers and local development plan allocations.
- •Engagement with Greater London Authority (GLA) planning and land teams.
- •Title and ownership statutory screening.
- •National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) & London Plan Policy SD1 alignment review.
- ✓Decision Gate 1: Formal candidate site shortlisting based on legal feasibility and site availability.
- ✓Decision Gate 1B: Rejection of sites with insurmountable Crown/heritage legislative barriers (e.g. Hyde Park) in favor of brownfield regeneration zones.
- ▸Certified Land Registry title plans and encumbrance registers.
- ▸Site screening comparative scorecards signed off by independent chartered surveyor.
- •Assumption: Minimum site footprint of 65,000 m² is deliverable in East London Opportunity Area.
- •Uncertainty: Precise land acquisition cost (£0 if long leasehold partnership vs £60M–£120M freehold purchase).
- •Risk: Land unavailability or prohibitive land assembly costs.
- •Mitigation: Prioritise publicly owned GLA Land & Property (GLAP) brownfield opportunity land with regeneration covenants.
