How We Work With Developers
We help developers identify the highest viable use, reduce planning risk and maximise scheme value — with feasibility-led strategy, full planning and technical delivery, and specialist support for HMO developers.
Maximising Development Potential, Minimising Planning Risk
Developers need more than drawings — they need a clear picture of what's achievable, what the planning risks are, and how to get from an empty or underperforming building to a profitable scheme.
We start by understanding your development goals and the site in front of you. Through feasibility, planning research and architectural design, we explore layouts, unit numbers and space allocation to maximise value while staying within planning and regulatory requirements.
From change of use and mixed-use schemes through to HMO developments and building control drawings, we give developers a single, reliable partner to help move projects forward with confidence.
How We Work With Developers
Tailored support at every stage of your change-of-use and redevelopment projects.
Development Feasibility
We assess your site, budget and planning context to give you a clear picture of what's achievable — so you develop with confidence.
Change of Use Strategy
We identify the highest viable use and map the planning route — from residential and HMO to mixed-use and other alternatives.
Unit Numbers & Space Planning
Through feasibility and space planning, we explore layouts, unit numbers and space allocation to maximise your scheme's value.
Planning Risk Reduction
We review planning policy, site context and constraints to surface risks early and shape a robust submission strategy.
Full Planning & Technical Drawings
Planning, building control and technical drawings under one roof — coordinated delivery from strategy through to approval.
Nationwide Delivery
We submit to over 110 local authorities across England, Scotland and Wales — wherever your development sits.
Specialist Support for HMO Developers
From single C4 properties to large Sui Generis HMOs, we help HMO developers navigate planning, licensing and compliance.
C4 & Sui Generis HMOs
Planning and design for both C4 (small HMOs) and Sui Generis (large HMOs) — whatever the scale of your scheme.
Article 4 Area Strategy
We navigate Article 4 directions where planning permission is required for C4 HMOs, building a robust case for approval.
Licensing-Compliant Layouts
We design layouts that meet HMO licensing requirements — room sizes, amenity space, kitchens and bathrooms.
