Rotherham

Public realm strategy and palette

Rotherham Public Realm


We developed an overarching public realm strategy and palette to support Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council’s Future High Streets Fund bid.

RMBC have also commissioned us to design schemes for public realm projects throughout the town centre.

These include a series of key streets, Rotherham Markets Regeneration and the Forge Island Canalside.

Regeneration Case Study: Olive Lane, Waverley

In 2025 we celebrated the opening of Olive Lane, which was delivered by Harworth Group at their flagship Waverley development in Yorkshire. Olive Lane is the ‘heart of the community’ with a vision to join together the Advanced Manufacturing Park and residential development at Waverley, through high quality commercial, community and residential uses. Our public realm and landscape design helps create a vibrant, welcoming, community focused place, featuring the high street, a central plaza and pocket parks. The launch event was attended by over 1,000 Waverley residents, which brought the street to life.

"PWP Design delivered an extensive and inspiring design guide and sketch design, transcending our own expectations of what was possible with our limited budget. Simon Hall's knowledge, enthusiasm and ever-present support has been a breath of fresh air and we are extremely thankful for his contribution to the project."
