Working with Landowners & Developers on a range of Housing Developments

 

Choosing the right Design & Planning Team is crucial to the success of your project.

If you want to maximise the potential of your site and need clear straightforward advice, you’re in the right place.

 

You’re here because you need an experienced team to help you navigate the complex and uncertain planning system and secure a high-quality residential planning approval.

A well-thought-out planning strategy
is essential for any development project,
no matter how big or small.

We design homes, whether from single-dwelling homes to mixed-use urban apartment schemes to multi-phased developments of over 100 dwellings.

We work with professional developers, housebuilders, and housing associations as well as non-professional or first time developers who want to develop part of their garden or have purchased land or buildings for development.

We have the expertise and experience to help you achieve your goals, regardless of your experience level.

We ensure working with us is the effortless, professional experience you’ve been anticipating, one that delivers excellence at every turn.

What do we do?

 

We coordinate with the Highways Consultant, Arboriculturist, Ecologist, and planning department to ensure that your project meets all requirements.

We work closely with you to make sure that the design is exactly what you need, and we make adjustments as required.

We take your idea, whether it’s on the back of an envelope or in a meticulous business plan, and build a blueprint for making your project a reality.

It Shows Passion And Vision

I am impressed with a project that shows such vision and thought. Well thought through to produce an ambitious, but very workable proposal. Its uniqueness stems from its incorporation of some of the best ideas from some of the best sites across the country, not always achieved in just one venue. It shows passion and vision.

Sits Comfortably Within The Streetscape

Designing an individual home which sits comfortably within the streetscape can be a difficult task — but it’s a balance which this contemporary self-build, with its steep-pitched gable ends and considered palette of render, stone and brick cladding, has successfully achieved.

I Was Blown Away - Very Beautiful

I was blown away I could immediately see it is not only very innovative but also very beautiful, to drive out of my house and see this would be as good a start to my day as I can think of.

Integrity Of Design

By sticking to their guns, and putting a lot of effort into planning, Hunter Architects have achieved a practical contemporary home on an extremely difficult site. Regardless of the various objections, they were confident in the integrity of their design, and were right not to be swayed.

An Exceptional Building Project

Wow what an exceptional building project, this looks an amazing and contemperory build, this would complement any village and we would be very lucky to have such a build in our village.

B James, Neighbour

Bravo!

How refreshing to see a proposal that fully embraces contemporary design whilst giving a nod to local materials. I’m pleased to see that the inclination to replicate the building next door has been avoided in pursuit of a more visually exciting proposal. Bravo!

H Mackenzie, Neighbour

Exceptional Quality

…it is considered that the proposal is a building of exceptional quality that is rarely achieved and should represent an exceptional case for consideration.

Nicely Sits On The Plot

It’s really nice to see something that is completely different to these horrible little boxes that everyone is building. How nicely it sits on the plot with the trees and it looks as if it has always been there.

D Seaby, Neighbour

The Highest Standards In Architecture

It is considered that the proposed dwelling represents a very high quality and innovative design which reflects the highest standards in architecture and would significantly enhance its immediate setting whilst being sensitive to the defining characteristics of the local area.

Working with us

 

For single-dwelling speculative developments, the process and issues are often similar to those for bespoke self-build homes. We recommend reading through our website, including the page for homeowners, for further information.

For larger developments, our understanding of the market and the needs of future occupants is essential. We will develop a clear and comprehensive brief that outlines the development’s goals and strategies for achieving them. This will increase the chances of success, ensuring that your development meets the market’s needs and delivers the desired returns.
