Planning Strategy
Planning strategy should shape the architecture early.
We develop the planning case and the design together, creating a clearer relationship between development ambition, site capacity and what can be justified to the local planning authority.

Route to consent
Consider the relevant planning route, policy context and constraints before the scheme becomes over-developed.
Design justification
Shape scale, form, use and external changes so the architectural response has a coherent planning rationale.
Value without overreach
Look for opportunities to strengthen the development proposition while protecting the credibility of the application.
Development Architecture
See the whole site before resolving the detail.
Our developer work starts with the relationship between the existing asset, its planning context and the opportunities around it. Capacity, access, massing, retained fabric and delivery constraints are considered together rather than as separate exercises.
Selected Development Experience
Different sites. Different constraints. One commercially aware design process.
Old Maltings
A phased residential development where the planning strategy was used to unlock additional development value while establishing a coherent approach across flats and new houses.
Sunset Court
An office conversion considered alongside two new-build houses, demonstrating how retained assets and additional development can be evaluated as one coordinated proposition.
Northfield Avenue
A mixed commercial and residential scheme creating nine homes while retaining and enlarging commercial accommodation — balancing multiple uses within a constrained urban site.
