An independent UK planning and regeneration consultancy founded in 2013, managed by chartered town planners, with offices in London, Reading and Manchester.
Nexus Planning is a planning and regeneration consultancy. A Government procurement listing describes it as a fully independent planning consultancy operated and managed by Chartered Town Planners, and says it also does demographic, social and economic research for private and public sector clients. In plain terms, it advises landowners, developers and councils about planning permission and local planning policy, and carries out research on how many homes or what facilities a place needs.
The firm was established in 2013 as a spin-off from the architecture firm Broadway Malyan, according to trade press listed in search results. It says that it is independent, and it highlights that it won the RTPI Planning Consultancy of the Year award in 2020. The RTPI is the Royal Town Planning Institute, the professional body for planners. We could not find a mission or values statement on the pages we read, so we are not quoting one. Its main client groups, as the supplier listing puts it, are private and public sector organisations active across a range of development sectors, which means its planners may work for a council one week and a developer the next.
A short profile on a building information site lists offices in London, Reading and Manchester. Trade press stories in the search results also mention a Birmingham office launch and recruitment in Reading, the North West and London, including a story about expanding its London focus after a chairman appointment. We have not read those stories in full, so we cannot say which offices are current. The profile pages are third-party and short.
The profile pages give little about culture or named people, and we have not invented any. They do say that it is managed by Chartered Town Planners, which is the professional standard for planners in the UK. The job-related stories in the search results suggest a team that has grown through planner and senior planner recruitment, but those items were not read.
For someone interested in planning, a consultancy like this offers roles as planners and senior planners, directors, and research staff who analyse housing and economic data. Typical subjects are geography, planning, economics and politics. Planning consultancies of this kind are also where many chartered town planners build their careers, because the work covers appeals, local plans and major applications. Because the information we found is thin, the company's own website is the best place to learn more about its mission, projects and team.
