Create have worked hard in 2024 to update their Net Zero Carbon plan. Working with Planet A and partners we have developed a detailed plan to establish our current carbon footprint and work out how to get to net zero.
Our proposal is to reduce our already low footprint by 50% by 2030 and 90% by 2040. Any remaining carbon will be offset at that stage with the use of carbon offsetting scheme.
We have at the same time been delivering the Ealing Film Studio’s project which is the world’s first carbon negative film studio and have been working on the planning stage of what we believe is the UK’s largest Passivhaus scheme and a zero carbon SEND school.
We look forward to continuing to work for a better future next year.

Combustible Cladding
Create are specialists in delivering remedial designs for buildings affected by combustible cladding. Some of the early schemes for remediation will be completed this autumn. We are working on schemes to remediate more than 500 homes. We are experts at the Building Safety Regular process.
With our partners, we can help resident associations and landlords through the entire remediation process.

We've recently been appointed to remediate a 6-floor apartment building in Liverpool affected by the combustible cladding issues. We visited the site this week to conduct a site investigation using our survey drone and other equipment to map and examine the building.
Like many of these projects, we found the original build quality poor. We've rapidly worked to develop the remedial design, which will soon be issued for tender. We hope that the project will commence on-site in the spring next year.
We can provide a comprehensive design service for anyone living in a building affected by combustible cladding.

Create have teamed up with IPE Developments to deliver a unique development of Corten-clad homes in Hullbridge, now under construction. 🚧🏗
The residences are located in an amazing ecologically diverse setting overlooking the River Crouch. The masterplan includes 14 dwellings set around a large central landscaped area with native planting that substantially contributed to the local biodiversity.
The low-carbon smart homes have been designed for the marine environment, and the façade features laser cut panels that echo the surrounding habitat. Raised on stilts, the dwellings offer unparalleled views across the River Crouch.

We have been working with our clients Combino Pharm and Medichem, providing interior design and furniture design services for the complete refurbishment of the local headquarters for this global pharmaceutical company.
The redesign brings the building in line with accessibility standards and affords a fresh and welcoming working environment, completely transforming the existing building.
We are well into the second phase of the project and look forward to completion and handover at the end of the year. 🎉

CREATE Planning is delighted to announce that they have supported Trent Energy Ltd to gain planning consent for a new plant that converts waste cooking oil to bio-diesel. The plant is located in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Not only is this project a fantastic source of ‘green’ fuel but the scheme includes micro energy generation and the use of waste heat from the manufacturing process to heat the plant buildings making it super low carbon. We applaud the Trent team for their vision and are delighted that we could support them in delivering this project.
