Planning & heritage
A planning consent earned, not given.
We have extensive experience securing planning permission for residential projects across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire – including conservation areas, sensitive village locations and constrained urban plots – and a 100% planning approval record to date. Our submissions are structured, clear and design-led, aligning client ambition with planning policy.
“The architect put forth a compelling design that successfully marries planning imperatives with the aesthetic and spatial ambitions of the applicant… the final design would likely make a positive contribution to Cambridge’s built environment.”
