Who we are https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4161bc5ec9f361e330d582/1582114124512-PAK73KMDU3R5W991ELVU/White-blossom.jpg Home “Ask for beauty. We do not see beauty as a cost to be negotiated away once planning permission has been obtained. It is the benchmark that all new developments should meet. It includes everything that promotes a healthy and happy life, everything that makes a collection of buildings into a place, everything that turns anywhere into somewhere, and nowhere into home. So understood beauty should be an essential condition for the grant of planning permission.” Living with beauty: report of the Building Better, Building Beautiful Commission Jan 2020 Our services https://www.neavesurbanism.co.uk/our-services daily 0.75 2020-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4161bc5ec9f361e330d582/1582114578834-WU7IBYGD9YSGA86V6PHG/Urban-design.jpg Our Services - Research and analysis Through developing an awareness of the nature of the townscape or landscape affected by change, we can provide advice to inform strategies and aid discussions with both the project team and stakeholders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4161bc5ec9f361e330d582/1582114665629-XAK9O3LW6LZYD5MKGWO1/Rural-design.jpg Our Services - Initial advice Providing strategic early advice on a site and its surrounding context to inform feasibility studies and development briefs.
