Integrating transport planning and urban design adds significant value to projects through the creation of a genuine sense of place along with the reassurance that schemes will be deliverable and realistic.

Our designers have the expertise and technical knowledge to understand sites and their distinctive context in order to deliver high quality, viable developments which are design-led and compliant with urban design best practice and government guidance. We have been involved the preparation of national-level design guidance, including Manual for Streets 1 and 2, Designing Streets for the Scottish Government and residential parking research for DCLG.

The team is involved in a wide range of strategic residential and commercial schemes for expanding towns and cities, throughout the UK and beyond. Recent experience includes the Telford and Kings Lynn Millennium Communities; a 3,500 unit urban extension to Cheltenham; and the 1,500 dwelling Scottish Sustainable Community scheme in Whitecross, Falkirk.

Recent regeneration projects include Churchfields in Kidderminster, where a new design framework for a town quarter was prepared; and Stanton in Derbyshire, where major residential an commercial development will provide up to 3,500 new dwellings and 25 Ha of employment land.
