Our Services
Masterplanning
Our masterplanning services provide a comprehensive approach to designing vibrant, sustainable communities that balance functionality, aesthetics, and livability. We work closely with house builders, developers, local authorities, and landowners to create visionary masterplans that respond to the unique constraints and opportunities of each site. From initial site analysis and concept development to detailed spatial layouts, infrastructure planning, and landscape integration, our process ensures every element contributes to a cohesive and thriving neighborhood. Whether designing compact urban infill developments or large-scale new communities, our goal is to deliver masterplans that foster connection, sustainability, and long-term value for residents and investors alike.
Site Feasibility
Our site feasibility services help clients make informed decisions at the earliest stages of development by providing clear, data-driven insights into a site’s potential. We assess key factors such as planning policy, access, topography, utilities, environmental constraints, and market context to identify both opportunities and challenges. Through detailed feasibility studies, we evaluate development capacity, design options, and potential risks to establish a realistic framework for successful delivery. Whether you’re considering land acquisition or exploring redevelopment potential, our team provides the technical expertise and strategic guidance needed to unlock value and shape viable, achievable projects.
Sketch Layouts
We offer professional services in producing proving layouts and feasibility sketches for housing schemes, helping clients visualize and assess the potential of their sites from the earliest stages. Our approach combines a strong understanding of planning policy, site constraints, and design quality to create efficient, attractive, and deliverable layouts. Whether exploring initial concepts or developing options for pre-application discussions, we provide clear, well-presented sketches that communicate design intent and support informed decision-making throughout the planning process.
Strategic Sites
Our site promotion services help communicate the potential of a site with clarity, creativity, and strategic insight. Designed to support site promotion and engagement with stakeholders, our vision documents bring development opportunities to life through compelling narratives, illustrative masterplans, and high-quality visuals. We work with landowners, developers, and agents to craft documents that articulate a strong and deliverable vision — aligning with planning policy, community needs, and market aspirations. Whether for local plan representations, investor presentations, or promotional materials, our vision documents inspire confidence and set the foundation for a successful planning journey.
Design Coding
Our design code services establish clear, practical frameworks that guide the delivery of high-quality, consistent, and characterful developments. We prepare design codes that translate a project’s vision and masterplan into detailed principles for architecture, streets, landscapes, and public spaces — ensuring design quality is maintained from concept through to construction. Working collaboratively with local authorities, developers, and design teams, we create codes that balance flexibility with control, promoting both creativity and coherence across all phases of development. Whether for large residential communities or mixed-use neighborhoods, our design codes help deliver places that are distinctive, sustainable, and enduringly successful.
Building for Healthy Life Assessments
Our Building for a Healthy Life (BHL) assessment services help ensure new developments create well-designed, people-focused places that promote wellbeing, sustainability, and community. Using the nationally recognized BHL framework, we evaluate proposals against key design principles — such as connectivity, character, public space, and amenities — to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement. Our assessments provide clear, practical guidance to help teams refine layouts and design approaches, ensuring schemes perform strongly in planning and deliver genuine quality of life benefits for residents. Whether undertaken at concept, pre-application, or planning submission stage, our BHL assessments support the creation of healthier, more attractive, and enduring neighbourhoods.
Design and Access Statements
Our Design and Access Statements provide clear, well-structured documents that communicate the vision, design rationale, and accessibility principles behind your proposed development. We craft comprehensive statements that demonstrate how a project responds to its context, meets planning policy requirements, and promotes inclusive, sustainable design. Each DAS clearly explains the design evolution — from site analysis and concept development to layout, scale, appearance, and landscaping — ensuring planning officers and stakeholders understand the proposal’s intent and quality. Whether for small residential schemes or large mixed-use developments, our team produces persuasive, policy-compliant statements that support a smooth and successful planning process.
