Planning & Masterplanning

“We call ourselves the advanced guard at BDP, undertaking anything from an initial assessment to an entire scheme.”
Frances Glare, chair of planning

BDP has one of the UK’s largest planning teams — experts in strategic frameworks, environmental impact assessments, planning consultations and urban regeneration strategy across private and public sectors.

Our planners sit across all 11 BDP offices in UK and Ireland — and are recognised for undertaking complex, mixed-use, regeneration projects.

Our services are underpinned by:

  • meaningful community engagement, ensuring greater local ownership of schemes
  • deliverability — particularly critical for commercial clients
  • in-depth knowledge of sustainability issues, regional UK legislation and complex government policy
  • an ability to ‘hold a client’s hand’ through the planning process, solving potential problems before they occur
