About David Lock Associates

David Lock Associates provides expertise in town and city revitalisation schemes, urban regeneration, regional and strategic planning, urban expansion and new settlements. We set ourselves the highest possible standards in our professional work, and we value our relationships with our many and varied clients. Since the Company was established in 1989 we have grown in number and expertise; the experience of our 60 strong professional team spans planning, urban design, graphic design, CAD, GIS and the related disciplines of both architecture and landscape architecture. Innovative transport planning is also part of the service we provide through our associated company ITP. We promote a team working culture and have an open minded approach to the way we tackle the challenges of our work.

Experience

Through our work with a variety of organisations and agencies, both in the UK and abroad, we have gained extensive experience, enhanced our creative talents and developed a strong skills set in managing large scale, sustainable, multi-disciplinary projects. This enables us to offer a complete range of planning and urban design services – from inception through to implementation on the ground.

We can help define opportunities, prepare strategic and comprehensive master plans, steer proposals through the planning system and design and manage detailed proposals for implementation.

DLA is at the forefront of designing and planning for the delivery of new settlements and urban extensions incorporating the highest possible standards of environmental, social and economic sustainability.

Our commercial and employment projects range from landmark office accommodation incorporated within mixed use schemes, through to major distribution and logistics parks.

Our clients and their projects are located throughout the UK, and we have considerable involvement in the growth areas established under the Government’s Sustainable Communities initiative. We maintain strong working relationships with our clients, many of whom we have represented throughout the company’s existence.
