Engagement was central to shaping Padnall Lake, informing key decisions around materiality, landscape and public space. Early discussions with planning officers, the GLA and local stakeholders helped evolve the energy centre design to balance its functional needs with playful features that reflect community identity. Public input also influenced planting choices and frontage treatments. Through pre-application discussions and consultation sessions, the team ensured the proposals remained grounded in local context and aspirations, helping to secure planning support and community buy-in.
