Planning for Prosperity

Positive planning for sustainable economic growth 
 
We provide evidence bases to inform economy-friendly policies and decisions, so that planning delivers the right land for sustainable economic growth.  We led the development of Employment Land Reviews (ELRs) and developed innovative methods to
predict the demand for employment land, assess supply and read market signals.  In many ways our approach has become the industry standard. We advise planning authorise, property developers and landowners on the future of sites and areas, be it for employment development or transfer to housing or alternative uses.
 
We have defended our findings, and the policies and proposals based on them, at many planning examinations and inquiries.  We advised Communities and Local Government on the new draft PPS4 and accompanying guidance and are already applying the new ‘whole-economy’ approach in practice.
