And now for something completely different

Delivering transformational and commercially viable regeneration and infrastructure projects on complex sites that meet place-making, Net Zero, and social value objectives, is not easy. It requires expert advice and market intelligence at all stages of the planning, design, development and regeneration lifecycle.

Acting out of our London and regional offices, our multi-disciplinary Planning, Regeneration + Infrastructure team can help identify, appraise, unlock and maximise the development potential and investment, environmental and social value of complex urban and rural sites and buildings.

Our professional team comprises over 100 specialist town planners and surveyors, development consultants, urban designers & masterplanners, town centre regeneration experts, economists, compulsory purchase order (CPO) / land assembly advisers, transport & infrastructure specialists, and dedicated public sector consultants.

Our advice covers a wide range of sectors and specialisms, including:

• Residential (Airspace, Build to Rent, Housing, Student Accommodation, and Senior Living)
• Town Centres, Retail, and Leisure
• Defence and Security
• Education
• Commercial (Offices, Workspace, and Science Parks)
• Energy and Infrastructure
• Healthcare
• Hotels
• Public Sector
• Media
• Transport & Infrastructure
• Green Book Appraisals
• CPO, Land Assembly and Procurement
