sensitivity to place
Working on challenging sites requires a careful approach to placemaking and design which is founded on good research and a rigorous design process - often with a range of other consultant partners.
Our enviable 100% track record at securing planning consents includes extremely challenging sites, including Conservation Areas, Listed Buildings, the Green Belt, AONB, and Open Countryside under the so called ‘Country House clause’ Paragraph 84 of the National Planning Policy Framework. We’re prepared to go where others won’t try, with an open mind and an open view to making the impossible, well, possible!
Building upon the character, atmosphere, history and geology of a place is key to a project's appropriateness and acceptance by planning authorities. Great design builds upon people's connection to a place and improves sustainability. The world is rich in its diversity and we aim to celebrate and accentuate this wherever possible with unique designs that inspire delight - through an appreciation of the ‘spirit of place’ and responding to this distinctiveness.
