Economics & Social Value

We provide a wide range of socio-economic services which enable our clients to make the best possible case for new development. We help our clients to demonstrate the real value of their proposals, both to local economies and to the communities living nearby.

We use rigorous research, modelling and analysis to quantify the economic and social value of new development. We use innovative techniques to present our findings so that key decision-makers and local communities can engage easily with complex cases for new development.

For those clients who are not yet ready to submit a planning application, we are able to help them understand the real value of their existing operation. We assess the existing economic footprint and social value of businesses and other organisations who are seeking funding or developing an investment case for new development.

High quality research and case-making is at the heart of our planning advice for clients. We use a wide range of technical tools and databases to ensure that we understand socio-economic conditions and help our clients to anticipate the future demographic trends that matter.
