Camilla Wells

Camilla is a commercial strategist with expertise in leading regeneration and development projects across various property sectors. With a focus on affordable workspace and community connection, she is passionate about creating collaborative commercial spaces. Her extensive experience in operational strategy for commercial developments allows her to understand tenant requirements and the specifications required for successful regeneration projects.

Before joining the Autumn 2023 Cohort, she managed the redevelopment of a three-acre site in Haringey, transforming it into a thriving creative community and collaborative commercial space. Dedicated to effective policy development and delivery, she also provided commercial recommendations for emerging schemes and developed strategic visions for public spaces that generate social value for communities.

London Borough of Lambeth

As part of our Autumn Cohort 2023, Camilla managed a fund of capital grants and loans, which was the council's key tool for supporting and delivering affordable workspaces through Section 106 and CIL contributions. Alongside this, she supported ongoing funded projects and contributed to other workspace initiatives, including the implementation of Lambeth’s Affordable Workspace Policy and Supplementary Planning Document. Her work particularly involved negotiating major Section 106 commitments with developers through the planning system, ensuring clear and purposeful communication to engage a wide range of stakeholders.
