As Planning Consultants in a Placemaking Studio, we are committed to putting the lives, experiences, ideas and aspirations at the heart of the plans, strategies and interventions we develop. We celebrate the strengths of the places we work in, and use these qualities to inspire solutions to the challenges that the place is experiencing. We are planners, urban designers, community engagement specialists and cultural strategists. We take an integrated approach to project delivery, recognising the synergies that are required for places to thrive. Recent projects include: - National and Local Spatial Development Strategies and Plans; - Placemaking Frameworks and Masterplanning; - Neighbourhood Plans; - Cultural Strategies; - Community Engagement Programmes; - Creative Industries Engagement; - Public Art Commissioning Frameworks; - Planning Objection Support; - Training and Capacity Building for Planning Teams. From the East Midlands to the Caribbean, we work with our clients and local communities to produce strategies for long-lasting, positive change.
