Knowledge that builds trust
Creating quality, functional environments can be difficult. Often the results lead to overly engineered, sterile spaces – but we understand the opportunities to work collaboratively to create design-led solutions from the outset of a project.
Not only is our focus on understanding the nuanced requirements of each end user; our solutions reflect the long-term as well as immediate viability of the project and are resilient to future changes in policy. We don’t just fulfil the brief, we’ll take an opportunity-led approach to adding certainty to clients’ projects, and create higher expectations for delivering quality streets, spaces and places.
Combined experience, integrated solutions
By understanding the specifics of each operator and overlaying these to the site constraints, we are able to identify proportionate solutions that deliver meaningful efficiencies in the way spaces are used and enjoyed.
Our in-house expertise in transport planning, drainage and flood risk allows us to identify and resolve potential tensions between the available solutions: ensuring we only ever present workable, deliverable and efficient solutions from the get-go.
A time to lead, a time to engage
For us, it’s not just about identifying the best technical solution. It’s about engaging with the approving authorities positively from the outset and throughout a project, to carry them with us, and with a view to getting clients’ developments over the line as quickly as possible. It’s how you communicate that often unlocks the real value.

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.
