Do you agree? Are contractors like bees cross pollinating ideas and facilitating the next generation of thought? Mmm... Are your contractors leaving your organisation and it's people better than before they arrived? #contractors #utilities #telecommunication #informationtechnology

Today marks the end for me of a brilliant 2-and-a-bit years at Planning Potential. Since starting with the team in Harrogate, I could not have wished for a better team to work with. The knowledge, guidance, and support from colleagues has been everything I could have hoped for, and then some. I will be ever-grateful for their support throughout my time with the company, and I wish the whole team all the best for the future. 🙏 Now time for a bit of downtime (ish), ready for a fresh challenge in the new year… 🎄🎁 #planning #townplanning #urbanplanning #consultancy #development

🌐 Fostering Community Resilience through an Operation & Maintenance Forum! 💧✨ Exciting news to share after a recent meeting with the Executive Engineer, PHED, where I presented a comprehensive plan centered around creating a district-level Operation & Maintenance Forum. 🤝📊 The primary objective is to establish a robust forum providing guidance and capacity-building support to 392 Gram Panchayats and 937 VWSCs for the effective management of water supply and distribution systems. 💦🌍 Key elements of the plan include: 1️⃣ **Empowering Through Training:** Aiming to empower women and youth, the initiative includes targeted training sessions on minor maintenance and pump operations across 937 villages. 2️⃣ **Transparent Costing:** Rigorous development of Schedule of Rates (SOR) and precise cost estimation for Operation and Maintenance work to ensure transparency and efficiency. 3️⃣ **District-Wide Monitoring:** Implementing a comprehensive monitoring and support mechanism at the district level to track progress and address challenges effectively. This initiative reflects our commitment to community development, creating a sustainable forum for the collective management of water resources. 💙🌐 Stay tuned for updates on this transformative journey as we work towards building resilient and empowered communities through the Operation & Maintenance Forum. 🚀🌟 #CommunityResilience #WaterManagement #OperationAndMaintenance #Sustainability #Empowerment #Infrastructure #Innovation #CommunityEngagement #PHED #CapacityBuilding

Our passion for infill development runs deep at Waters Development Management. Why? And what is infill development? 👉 Infill development refers to developing vacant or under-utilized land within existing urban or suburban areas. Instead of expanding outward into undeveloped or rural areas, infill development focuses on maximizing the use of existing infrastructure, services, and amenities by filling in gaps or redeveloping unused parcels of land within established communities. 👉 Infill development plays a crucial role in creating vibrant, sustainable, and resilient urban environments by maximizing the use of existing resources and promoting more compact, walkable, and inclusive communities. How? ✔️ Utilization of Existing Infrastructure: Infill development takes advantage of existing roads, utilities, public transportation, and other infrastructure, reducing the need for costly expansion of these systems. ✔️ Mixed-Use Development: Often, infill projects incorporate mixed-use buildings that combine residential, commercial, and/or retail spaces within the same development, promoting walkability and reducing the need for car travel. ✔️ Revitalization of Urban Cores: Infill development can contribute to the revitalization of urban cores by breathing new life into neglected areas, making them more attractive for both residents and businesses. ✔️ Density and Efficiency: By utilizing land more efficiently and increasing density, infill development can help address issues such as urban sprawl, traffic congestion, and environmental degradation associated with suburban expansion. ✔️ Preservation of Green Space: Focusing development on existing urban areas helps preserve green space and agricultural land on the outskirts of cities, promoting environmental sustainability and biodiversity. ✔️ Community Engagement and Collaboration: Successful infill development projects involve collaboration between developers, local governments, community groups, and residents to ensure that new developments align with the needs and character of the existing community. Building great projects, careers and communities is what we believe in at Waters Development Management. Our core values of excellence, respect and problem-solving are expressed in everything we do, from how we communicate to how we work collaboratively with local government, communities, contractors and trades. #ResidentialInfill #InfillDevelopment #DevelopmentManagement  #UrbanPlanning
