Our Services

We offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to guide our clients through every stage of the project lifecycle, from initial concept to final construction. Our expertise spans several key areas:

• Planning Agents: As experienced planning agents, we navigate the complexities of the planning system on your behalf, ensuring your project has the best possible chance of success. We prepare detailed planning applications, respond to planning enquiries, and represent you at planning committees, acting as your advocate throughout the process.
• Architectural Planning Drawings: Our skilled architects produce high-quality, visually compelling drawings that communicate your vision clearly and effectively. These drawings, tailored to your specific project requirements, form the foundation for obtaining planning permission and guiding the construction process.

• Design & Access Statements (DAS): We prepare comprehensive Design & Access Statements that demonstrate the merits of your project and its positive impact on its surroundings. These statements address accessibility, visual impact, sustainability, and other relevant considerations, strengthening your planning application.

• Flood Risk Assessments (FRA): Understanding potential flood risks is crucial for sustainable development. We conduct thorough Flood Risk Assessments to identify potential hazards and propose appropriate mitigation measures, ensuring your project is resilient to flooding.

• Sustainable Drainage Assessments (SUDS): We are committed to environmentally sound practices and integrate Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) into our designs. We prepare SUDS assessments to demonstrate how your project will manage stormwater runoff effectively, reducing flood risks and protecting the natural environment.

• Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEA):

We recognise the importance of biodiversity and conduct Preliminary Ecological Appraisals to assess the potential impact of your project on local flora and fauna. This allows us to identify and incorporate measures to mitigate any adverse effects, promoting ecological sustainability.

• Biodiversity Net Gain Assessments (BNG):

We strive to enhance biodiversity through our projects and undertake Biodiversity Net Gain Assessments (BNG). This involves identifying opportunities to increase biodiversity on-site and offsetting any potential losses, ensuring a net gain for the local environment.

• Phase 1 Contamination Reports:

We recognise the importance of environmental responsibility and conduct Phase 1 Contamination Reports to assess the potential for land contamination at your project site. This helps us to identify potential risks and advise on appropriate remediation measures.

• Heritage Statements: We are sensitive to the historical context of our projects and prepare Heritage Statements where necessary. These statements analyse the surrounding heritage assets and propose design solutions that respect and preserve their character.
