RTP in the South West

Roger Tym & Partners' South West presence began in Truro in 1994 and Exeter in 1998. 
 
Our team has a strong track record in economic development and regeneration - reflecting the priorities of the region – and has grown to serve the South West from the Isles of Scilly to the M4 corridor. 
 
Our portfolio includes the diverse issues affecting the South West, including the many dimensions of spatial planning.  Our experience extends across the UK.
 
We have provided evidence for local, sub-regional and regional plans, policies and strategies.  We work to support local economic development through feasibility studies, business cases, impact analysis and demand assessments.  An important part of what we do lies in the evaluation of programmes and projects.
