Site promotion and representations to local planning authorities
We excel in promoting sites through persuasive, well-evidenced representations and early engagement. We build trust with local authorities and stakeholders, championing innovative proposals that align with policy and unlock housing and placemaking opportunities.
Planning applications and appeals
Our team leads complex applications and appeals with strategic insight, robust justification, and design-led solutions. We’ve secured consent for challenging developments by clearly communicating their benefits and responding proactively to stakeholder concerns and site constraints.
Planning briefs and feasibilities
We shape compelling planning briefs and feasibility studies that are grounded in policy and shaped by great design to amplify the potential of varied sites. Our work identifies opportunities early, helping clients make the informed decisions that lead to viable strategies for new developments. We are experienced in understanding portfolio reviews for clients.
Planning policy and strategy advice
We provide trusted strategic advice grounded in policy knowledge and real-world delivery experience. We support local authorities and developers to navigate changing frameworks, shaping resilient strategies that align with long-term housing, design and sustainability goals.
S106 / CIL negotiations
We expertly negotiate Section 106 and CIL agreements that balance viability with public benefit. Through clear strategy and stakeholder dialogue, we’ve helped secure timely obligations and funding alignment across large-scale and portfolio-based housing developments.
Discharge and renegotiation of planning conditions
Our team leads the post-consent process with precision, discharging and renegotiating conditions to support successful and expedient delivery of built environment projects. Our well-coordinated and phased approach ensures efficient implementation while improving design and build quality and improving outcomes for clients and residents alike.
Community engagement
Our team delivers meaningful, inclusive engagement that shapes better places. From resident ballots to creative youth outreach, we empower communities to influence design outcomes – building support, enhancing social value, and creating long-term ownership of change.
Design guidance and design coding
We create design-led guidance that turns vision into action. From full Design Codes to Supplementary Planning Documents, we establish clear principles and a framework for growth, ensuring beauty, sustainability and local character are embedded across complex, evolving projects. We are experienced in working with local authorities on masterplans that shape policy.
