With the increasing pressure placed on land by a growing population, many sites that we are asked to consider are now classed as brownfield. These have often been seriously blighted by previous uses, leaving issues of contamination, poor access and specialist buildings that do not meet modern living and construction requirements.

We have undertaken several commissions under the Government’s Sustainable Communities Programme exploring how, through redundant land regeneration, Urban Expansion or Urban/Sub-Urban Renewal, communities can become more sustainable. In this work reducing car dependence, reintegrating demands for food, water, energy, jobs, social care, community life and leisure, with regional and local economics all impact. Our team includes Economic Regeneration planners and geographers to bring depth to such work. Increasingly we use our understanding of the development pattern of historic towns and cities as a way of guiding future decisions. We use skills in Spatial and Vernacular economics to justify long term public or private re-investment strategies.

We use our experience in managing the inputs of diverse professional teams to ensure that the schemes we propose for such sites are capable of improving the environmental, economic social and cultural wellbeing of the areas in which they are situated and improve the quality of life of those affected by the development, directly and indirectly.

Through a large number of successful regeneration schemes we know how wide ranging positive outcomes and comprehensive value growth can be nurtured in apparently infertile ground.
