We provide an analysis of the local education landscape to support the education strategy for new development. This informs master planning, understanding opportunities to maximise the benefit for education, supporting the promotion of sites for allocation and pre-planning discussions with local authorities.

We review planning obligations to make sure they are fair, certain and secured at the appropriate time. We lead on negotiations with local authorities using our need assessment and school project management experience. We also provide expert witness support.

By combining years of experience with creative thinking, we strike the balance needed to turn opportunities into proven successes. Our track record includes significant contributions to major regeneration and redevelopment schemes in London, such as King’s Cross, Nine Elms, and White City, as well as impactful projects across the UK, including Finzels Reach in Bristol, York Central, Brindley Place in Birmingham, and West Quay in Southampton.

We support with the technical aspect of pupil place planning. Our work is informed by the need to support bids for infrastructure funding, new free school applications and informing strategy.
