We use economic analysis and forecasts for the
benefit of our clients to:
Inform development and investment decisions
Advise on planning and regeneration policies and projects
Support planning applications
Bid for funds.
We estimate and forecast the socio-economic impacts of major projects - including
regeneration schemes, new public transport systems and roads, and cultural, sporting
and tourism facilities. We are, and have been for many years, members of English
Partnerships' economics panel where, for example, we assisted with the revisions
to the 3Rs guidance for the appraisal of projects part-financed by the public
sector - and are on similar panels of a number of the English Regional Development
Agencies.
We have unique expertise in local and regional forecasting - a key tool in impact appraisal and many other areas. We produced the forecasts for London to 2021 which are used across the GLA's transport, economic development and land use strategies.
