Master Planning

East Yorkshire

As part of the East Riding of Yorkshire council's search for new housing sites over their next plan period, we have been working for a number of years with a developer to prepare strategic master-plans for a variety of potential sites throughout East Yorkshire.

The schemes range in size and complexity, from modest rural proposals for 20 units up to large scale urban expansions of up to 2000 units.

Close analyses of the context and site constraints, and a sound understanding of housing principles, have resulted in realistic proposals, in terms of numbers and workable plot layouts, ensuring the schemes move onto the next design stage with confidence. They include well planned greenspaces, strategic planting and fully considered highway strategies.

We worked closely with the client throughout and alongside other consultants in the design team, including planning, landscape, highway and drainage engineers and ecologists, to bring together a series of comprehensive land-bid submissions.
