A different view

Owning a piece of the British countryside is a privilege and a responsibility. The landscapes, heritage, and communities of rural Britain. The enterprise and innovation that drives their evolution. This is where our passion lies. We believe in the potential of rural areas and share a commitment to enabling progress in these special places through innovative, sensitive change.

Strength and depth

Our team represents a breadth of expertise, capable of delivering projects with creativity and a laser focus on successful outcomes.

Our team includes:

  • Consultants who bring experience from decades working in the rural sector, and expertise from backgrounds as land agents, business analysts, policy shapers, leisure specialists, marketers and project managers
  • Architects and landscape architects who understand the connection between design and place in sensitive locations

Single focus. Different perspectives.

Our expertise is deeply rooted in the rural world and enhanced by the different perspectives from across our team. By bringing together those who've worked in rural development their whole careers, with others from local authorities, housing, property developers, research, education, sport, major events, marketing, tourism, and heritage alongside professional designers, planning consultants and project managers, we can take a different view.
