Planning | Expert guidance through the complexities of planning
Planning approach
Town planners at SPD Studio are essential to successful projects. SPD Studios planners are responsible for understanding a project's context and objectives and are integral in developing a plan that meets the client's goals. We work across the entire RIBA stages to ensure that a project is planned, designed, and managed most efficiently and effectively. Through close analysis of the stakeholders and their needs, town planners create a comprehensive plan that considers the project's overall objectives. Our approach to a project involves thorough research and consultation with stakeholders, consideration of local and national planning policies, and analysis of the site's potential. Our town planners are a vital part of the project team, ensuring that the project objectives are met while adhering to relevant regulations and policies.
Some of the factors that planning applications must cover include the sustainability of the site, an assessment of whether or not the presence of solar farms will endanger the environment, and considering ecological and socio-economic factors.
