We have an enviable success rate in gaining well over 100 planning consents.

The urban sites we typically acquire tend to have particularly challenging design and planning issues to overcome.

These require a thorough understanding of the planning process and policies as well as high quality designs for their resolution – both areas in which Re-creo excels.

Planning is about understanding local priorities, being able to read the changing trends of regulatory interpretation.

Social need, local heritage and sustainability all play potential roles in decision-making. Our wide but deep perspective on these issues is at the centre of our approach.

The process is both creative and iterative. We work with local planning departments to refine and re-work schemes where needed, always taking a balanced account of our investors’ needs and those of the local community.
