SLR’s team of award-winning masterplanners, landscape architects and urban designers provide practical and innovative design solutions. Our proposals are based on our considerable depth of experience across a wide portfolio of projects, supported by extensive in-house technical skills as required.
How can we help?
SLR provides innovative and achievable design solutions, delivering value for our clients. This ranges from strategic citywide masterplanning and site capacity assessment, through to neighbourhood and local plan promotion, and planning application preparation.
SLR works at all scales, from major urban extensions and strategic developments, to small infill sites in towns and cities, on both brownfield and greenfield land. Our services often include landscape architectural input in creating landscape-led design solutions in sensitive environments, alongside conceptual layout work.
SLR coordinates inputs into the design process and provides a full suite of design-related documents for promotion purposes. With effective stakeholder engagement, a comprehensive vision for the site or area is developed.
We also provide ‘high level’, comprehensive technical and design capacity review of sites prior to purchase, assisting clients with investment decisions.
Our experience and approach, combined with high-quality service, maximises the potential of gaining a positive reception with key stakeholders in relation to the services we provide.
