PLANNING

TRDL undertake planning projects , specialising in mixed use hotel residential and leisure projects throughout UK, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Caribbean. Our approach to masterplanning is based on strong physical planning that meets site criteria, thorough site analysis and character modelling in association with business planners and cost consultants who undertake critical financial modelling to establish business plans. We understand that with a strong financial footing , we are more likely to have a better chance of successful place-making. TRDL have experience in achieving positive results in planning applications in the UK. For complex sites, we recommend pre-planning approaches to the planning authorities to establish the ground rules for the application before time is devoted to a full application. This is normally the best approach for projects in green belt zones, AONB or urban conservation areas. At outline planning stage it may take time to establish the development parameters if the site is in a flood zone or has complex access. We normally recommend a detailed site survey is undertaken to establish site levels, boundaries, location of services above and below ground before design commences.
