Our clients are developers, land owners and planning authorities.

Not just theorists – we’re practitioners. We are housing and development consultants. We specialise in negotiating a path through the competing and conflicting priorities in planning policy across the UK and in addressing some of the most intractable problems in our housing market, especially the contrasting needs and demand for different tenures of housing.

If you have a development scheme that is required to make contributions towards affordable housing, planning obligations through a Section 106 Agreement or CIL payments we can help you with this.


No other planning or housing consultancy offers this access to such specialist knowledge and experience.
