      Delivering the first new planned Surrey village for over 100 years - and creating a new concept in sustainable rural living

      Realising your vision for a new place, unlocking development value or repurposing an existing building - we have an excellent track record over many decades for our college clients.

      Strategic planning is complex, but we will help define your vision and inform smart development decisions. We will focus on what matters to you such as investment returns, college priorities and climate change. Our advice is tailored to ensure any planning consent is deliverable and optimises the value of your asset to achieve the best planning outcome.

      We take on board the complexities and challenges that come with strategic planning for projects large and small for our Bursars.

      Navigating a path to planning consent means persuading the doubters and managing conflicts along the way. We will help shape the planning strategy you need which is commercially sound, delivers against your priorities and meets your income goals for reinvesting back into the college.

      It’s like steering an oil tanker leaving a port. You must set it on the right course because even a small degree of deviation makes it difficult to turn around quickly
