What we do
We are continually updating and enhancing our range of services and products, which currently consist of:
- Bespoke Interactive Models and Toolkits
- We have developed a range of toolkits to model changes in the requirement for housing and services at a range of spatial levels or by key target groups such as older people and those in housing need. Examples include our Sheltered Housing and Neighbourhood Planning for Housing toolkits.
- Visit the Interactive Toolkits page for more information, or:
- Dynamic Area Profiles
- We undertake profiles of user defined areas incorporating demographic, housing, health, education and socio-economic data to provide 20 year trajectories of change and their implications for service requirements.
- Housing Market Assessments
- We have undertaken over 50 Assessments from neighbourhood and site specific to sub-regional and strategic. Our Assessments are forward looking and interactive. They enable clients to identify options for intervention; and allow for continuous and independent updating.
- Policy Review, Analysis and Revision
- We specialise in reviewing and refining policies. Examples of recent work include projects to evaluate the effectiveness of delivering affordable housing in the Bristol sub-region and to develop approaches to estate-based regeneration in Birmingham.
- Research and Intelligence
- We undertake challenging and original research, with projects as diverse as identifying the scale of under-occupation at neighbourhood, district or local authority level; and analysing the policy implications of the relationship between housing and health at sub-regional and regional levels.
- We can offer training courses in approaches to community consultation and survey and on research methods, including data handling and GIS applications, especially focused on neighbourhood planning.
