What we do

Our specialised town planning and urban design services focus on each project individually, starting with a comprehensive understanding of the client's needs.  This may simply be some quick planning advice (sometimes given for free!) or often engaging on studies and plans that require expertise on different development facets and phases over several months.    

As an integral part of our collaborative approach we continue to build close working relationships with complementary practices and other professionals.  Together we are able to combine resources and provide an extended range of skills and services that can address requirements from accross the development industry.  

 

We work with people towards clear, tangible end products, specialising in - 

  • Site appraisal, examination of design, policy and regulatory constraints
  • Development plans, technical working papers, compilation of evidence base
  • Project designs, master plans, preparation & processing of proposals
  • Urban design appraisals, frameworks and codes
  • Public realm strategies
  • Motivation and justification statements
  • Movement and access plans
  • Local identity and distinctiveness studies
  • Spatial development strategies & frameworks, city masterplans
  • Community regeneration and renewal strategies, area action plans
