Planning & urban design
Careful planning is crucial to the success of all urban development and regeneration projects. Chester urban design and planning group adopts an integrated approach to tackle complex urban challenges across the full planning spectrum. We try and see the bigger picture in every project we work on, taking into account the physical, economic, social and environmental factors that may affect a successful outcome.
Our urban designers and planners work within a multi-disciplinary engineering team, giving us a unique insight into the practicalities of a project. We deliver well considered masterplans and innovative solutions for planning approval, helping our clients achieve their vision for accessible and sustainable developments where people want to live, work and play. To achieve cost-effective outcomes we advise on strategic procurement methods for all types of design.
