Commercial awareness, technical expertise
We specialise in guiding you through every stage of development planning, offering solutions that address your unique challenges, whether you’re working with previously developed land or exploring new prospective developments.
From conducting comprehensive feasibility studies and crafting innovative concept designs to providing expert witness services and meticulously detailed construction designs, our commitment is centered around understanding your specific needs.
We pride ourselves on not just navigating the complexities of planning conditions and obligations, but on leveraging our expertise to actively contribute to the success of your project.
Trusted partners in creating value
We understand that our clients want to knowthere is more to us than simply having the right tools for the job. We pride ourselves on being more than a service provider; we’re your dedicated partners committed to excelling at every task we undertake.
With a blend of expertise, enthusiasm, and unwavering commitment, we go beyond expectations to meet the unique challenges you face. We prioritise active listening to precisely understand your needs, ensuring that our approach is tailored to address your individual requirements and the nuances of your project.
Detailed assessment to move forward
We play a vital role in the early stages of your project, especially during pre-acquisition, where our expertise supports the identification of strategic land.
Our focus extends beyond providing feasibility and due diligence advice – we actively contribute to the promotion of sites through the Local Plan process. Notably, our market-leading approach to measuring transport-related sustainability and carbon modelling sets us apart from our peers.
This initial phase is just the beginning; we seamlessly transition into offering detailed input for the development of a commercially viable masterplan. Our commitment extends to conducting a robust technical assessment of traffic impacts, creating a narrative to express the logic of the proposals, and underpinned by rigourous evidence set out in transport assessments, transport statements, or environmental statements. These assessments serve as a solid foundation in support of your planning application.

Our sector experience
We use our experience, insight and analytical approaches to respond to the exact needs of our clients; and identify and solve problems by targeting solutions that take in the bigger picture.
Residential
We’re often involved early in projects, supporting site-finding activities, and moving on to the masterplan process. Schemes range from a few dwellings with simple access and layout considerations, through to large, mixed use schemes requiring modelling of the wider network and strategic infrastructure improvements.
Renewables
We support development for wind, solar and energy-from-waste projects throughout the UK. This includes large scale wind farms to expansive solar schemes in areas of risk of flooding. As a corporate IEMA partner, we understand the specific legal requirements of environmental impact assessment.
Commercial & Industrial
Whether it’s transport planning or highway design, flood risk or drainage strategies, we understand the nuances of industrial and commercial development. We can take a lead role in optimising the masterplan process, support planning with robust evidence, and provide accurate, cost-effective construction designs.
Retail
We’re a trusted partner for a number of regional and national developers, bringing extensive knowledge of commercial development. We enable a scheme to be commercially optimised, understanding the importance of maximising passing trade; while also minimising the severity of associated traffic effects.
Health & Wellbeing
Our team of experts has extensive experience of advising on all types of health and wellbeing facilities. We provide transport planning, highway, flood risk and drainage input across a range of developments, including primary and secondary schools, GP surgeries, pharmacies and dental practices.
Leisure
Every leisure development is different – whether it’s a new campsite, gym or stadium. The journey through the planning system is just the start. We ensure that fundamental engineering principles are ingrained in our solutions, to expedite the design and approval stages, and get contractors on site sooner.
