Residential
We have helped unlock thousands of high-quality, multi-tenure homes across the UK—ranging from modular co-living towers and student accommodation to build-to-rent schemes, rooftop extensions, and large-scale estate renewal. Our approach is context-driven and design-led, combining strategic insight with collaborative engagement. By aligning with policy and working closely with communities, we help shape homes and neighbourhoods that are practical, inclusive, and enduring.
Mixed use
We bring clarity and creativity to mixed-use projects, from town centres and estate renewal to co-living and workspace-led communities. Our planning work is grounded in careful analysis of place, policy, and need—enabling dynamic combinations of uses that support diverse lifestyles. By collaborating closely with clients, design teams, and local authorities, we navigate complexity to deliver flexible, future-focused neighbourhoods.
Public realm and placeshaping
We work with local authorities and design teams to deliver inclusive, nature-led public spaces—from green infrastructure and play spaces to city-scale placemaking. Our experience spans from complex phased strategies at Crystal Palace Park to sensitive heritage sites, where we’ve secured permissions that balance access, ecology, and conservation. Our adaptable, strategic approach supports long-term value for people and the planet.
Design codes and masterplans
Our team leads the development of characterful places through evidence-based codes and masterplans. We create clear, deliverable visions underpinned by parameter plans, phasing strategies, and design-led codes shaped through community engagement. Our work supports both local authorities and private developers to balance density, identity, and sustainability—ensuring every place is grounded, inclusive, and able to evolve over time.
Commercial
We provide trusted planning advice across commercial sectors, helping clients secure viable, flexible permissions for workspace, life sciences, logistics, and technology. Our appraisals are informed by detailed policy analysis and delivered with a focus on commercial realism, long-term flexibility, and quality of place.
Research and thought leadership
We actively contribute to housing and planning debates through research, publications, and collaboration with academic and policy institutions. Drawing on over 50 years of placemaking, we share lessons and ideas that influence practice and challenge the status quo—helping to drive better outcomes for people and communities.
