Town Planning

Town Planning is everything to do with the construction of our built environment, within both the public and private sector. Before anything is built, it will likely need to go through the planning process and there are many aspects that will influence whether or not something can be built; including social, economic, environmental and aesthetic factors. Planners help to physically shape a place for the better and have a positive impact in society. They are dedicated to developing a more sustainable environment whilst also having a positive impact on the local economy; working closely with communities through neighbourhood planning to meet their needs.

Clients benefit from our urban planning expertise, provided as both a stand-alone and an integrated service delivery model, including urban and landscape design and engineering services.

We strive to exceed client expectations on all projects and have a long and proud history of successfully delivering a range of urban planning projects including a number of high profile legacy projects for both the public and private sectors.
