General Information

Following the merger with DTZ, Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) is now the 3rd largest multidisciplinary property services organisation globally.

Our Development & Planning Team operates across the UK advising public and private sector clients on a wide range of property, regeneration and economic development related challenges and comprises over 75 members of professional staff including Chartered Surveyors, Town Planners and Economic Development Specialists.

We advise clients on all aspects of economic development and growth, focusing particularly on where there is a distinct relationship to the built environment and the links between infrastructure and property. We are unique in that we are able to apply our market facing property expertise to our leading economic development offer to bring market realities to our offer. We are retained advisors to Homes England on its Economics Framework Panel and are also retained advisors to a number of LEPs and Local/Combined Authorities nationally.
