strategic masterplanning

Successful masterplanning is the key to creating great places. A clear, considered masterplan developed by professionals and local people together can lead to the physical, social and economic revival of places. We can help create successful masterplans together with our associate disciplines. We can also carry out design review programmes.

place making

We specialise in local distinctiveness studies and have worked on many Town and Village Design Statements and Landscape Strategies. We co-ordinate and manage market positioning strategies and can help to co-ordinate HLF and other funding bids. We are assisting with the development of emerging Neighbourhood Plans.

urban design

We are committed to the art of making places, assisting clients in creating desirable, high quality and sustainable environments in which to live, work and play.

regeneration

We co-ordinate and lead in the preparation of comprehensive strategies for regeneration of whole communities, town centres, declining housing estates, brownfield sites and waterfronts.

policy development

We represent clients in promoting sites through Examinations in Public and Inquiries. We present and co-ordinate evidence and appear as expert witnesses. We also assist local authorities in the preparation of development plan documents.

In addition to bringing a full complement of planning, design and master planning skills to projects, we offer excellent skills in community co-ordination and stakeholder consultation, partnership building and workshop facilitation.
