Strategic Land & Housing

Creating a sense of home

Health, wellbeing, and a sense of social worth are an intrinsic part of where people live and the communities they are a part of.

In the United Kingdom, the government is aiming to create 1.5 million new homes before 2030. Planning reform and positive political support have created the opportunity to accelerate the development of strategic land and deliver new communities that people are proud to call home.

Our planning, transport, sustainability, and engineering design consultants work with site promoters, strategic land developers, housebuilders, and the public sector to inform the masterplan for strategic sites. We help clients understand site constraints and identify opportunities to deliver truly sustainable, future-proofed, commercially valuable developments.

Success in strategic land development relies on strong partnerships, community engagement, and understanding that transport connectivity, investment in schools and healthcare, green space, recreational areas, landscaping, and clean and reliable energy is what truly makes a place a home.

Whether it’s unlocking complex former industrial brownfield sites, working in urban environments, or supporting new allocations to extend existing developments, we’re at the heart of shaping sustainable communities.
