We are a creative practice that embeds placemaking at the heart of each project.
Placemaking is a multi-disciplined approach to urban management that involves the interaction of buildings with their spatial environment and their contribution to the creation of vibrant and attractive spaces that inspire and encourage community development, as well as facilitate well-being and healthy neighbourhoods.
We use a collaborative approach to engage in understanding the physical setting and making places which add to their environment and support the needs of the community they sit within.

Securing planning permission for the change of use of a barn to residential use can be challenging, as local planning authorities place, often unnecessarily, obstacles in the way, and seek to resist such proposals.
The Government recognised this a number of years ago by introducing the Class Q prior notification process that allows the change of use of a barn to residential use in certain circumstances.
However, there are still a number of scenarios where the Class Q process is not applicable, and in such cases, the proposed scheme needs to be demonstrated to be compliant with local planning policy or any other material planning considerations.
