Urban extensions and new settlements will accommodate the vast majority of our country’s new homes over the coming decades as the supply of brownfield land depletes and the capacity of our town and city centres is used up. They should not be seen as housing estates; we believe it is essential that they are planned, designed and delivered to create the healthiest and highest quality places, in which communities and local economies can thrive. We bring a comprehensive view of how the spatial, environmental, social, economic and movement opportunities at a given location can be best weaved together to achieve this.

During our thirty years of practice we have become market leaders in promoting, masterplanning and securing planning permission for major developments, adding real value to our clients’ land assets as well as establishing the frameworks to support the growth of new and expanded communities. We lead and coordinate the multi-disciplinary inputs needed to put together exemplar planning applications.

We have unapologetically aligned ourselves with Garden City principles, and we actively support the work of the Town & Country Planning Association in promoting the need for well planned places and greater housing delivery.

In addition, we are fully engaged in the delivery stage of large developments through a coordinated approach to design coding, reserved matters applications, condition discharge and S106 monitoring. We have developed efficient and accurate systems to secure good placemaking and support high delivery rates.
