Development Planning


Today's developers and planners face key challenges. Sites are scarce or have construction and infrastructure problems and very often there are difficult access issues. Apart from meeting traditional criteria, such as building regulations and environmental issues, developers must also provide a comprehensive assessment of transport provision.

This responsibility is being enforced through the emergence of Planning Policy Guidance Directive (PPG6/13), which seeks to forge closer links between land use and transport planning.

The traffic and transportation aspect of development planning requires diverse skills. Liaison and coordination play an important role in the negotiation necessary for effective dialogue with Planning and Highway Authorities.

We have a wide range of experience covering many fields of development and work to support planning applications. Many clients have benefited from our proven skills in communicating important issues, facilitating smooth and speedy routes to successful planning permission. We have put this expertise into practice in both urban and rural development projects, including retail, commercial, health facilities, leisure, tourism and residential projects.
