Design advice and negotiation

Client - Local authorities and planning applicants (various)


Tibbalds’ specialist design expertise is called upon by local planning authorities and developers to help them negotiate design issues at both planning application and pre-application stage. In several cases the local authority, as landowner, has been determined that proposals should set an example of best design practice.

We have helped local authorities secure improvements to the design approach for developments such as

Warwick Road Tesco, a supermarket with housing on upper floors;
New River Village, Haringey, now developed for well integrated, high density housing, some mixed use and a linear park;
St Sampson, Guernsey, a significant development of apartments in a prominent coastal location;
Great Western Park, Didcot, an urban extension of 3200 dwellings; and
West Kent Coldstore, a 400 home scheme.

We also advise applicants on planning related design issues.
