Sectors
PLACE LOGIC provides data-driven insight to support better decisions across planning, development and investment. Our tools help public and private sector clients create places that are more walkable and promote healthy and sustainable lifestyles, while being commercially successful.
We work across three key areas:
- Strategic planning – supporting local authorities, government bodies, and planning consultants
- Development – working with developers, landowners, architects, and urban designers
- Value – providing insight to financial services, investors, and property professionals
Strategic Planning
We support the strategic growth of urban areas to improve health, boost local economies and nurture the natural environment. Our services help both policy makers and planners shape better places.
Guiding growth
Using sophisticated spatial modelling, we identify the most sustainable and well-connected sites for development – based on transport access, settlement patterns and local context. This helps local authorities streamline site selection and make informed decisions when integrating different emerging sites. It also helps authorities align growth with long-term goals.
Spatial frameworks and development briefs
We support the creation of strategic plans that guide development with clear principles. Our data ensures frameworks promote strong movement networks and sensible land use – so they’re not just visionary, but practical and deliverable.
Development management
We help assess the quality of planning proposals, especially in terms of walkability and access. Our analysis supports better decisions and higher design standards.
Design coding
We identify patterns in local character – such as building form, street layout, and density – using advanced spatial tools. This helps us to design codes which reflect the unique qualities of a place and guide appropriate development.
Development
We support developers and landowners at every stage of the process – from site selection to planning applications – with clear, evidence-based advice.
Strategic land acquisitions
We provide evidence at the earliest stage – helping identify high-potential sites and adding value during acquisition.
Site promotion
Our work supports planning applications by showing how schemes meet policy goals and enhance local areas – improving health, boosting business and creating more liveable places.
Design review
We work with design teams to improve masterplans, offering clear, data-backed advice to support better layouts and outcomes for people, place and planet.
Planning applications
We assess walkability, access to services, block structure and density, translating complex data into clear recommendations that strengthen the planning case and improve design quality.
Value
Well-connected, walkable places don’t just perform better for their occupants and users – they’re worth more financially. Our analysis helps investors, valuers and property platforms understand the commercial benefits of good urban design.
Investment and valuation
We help investors and valuers identify strong locations. Our insights feed into valuation models, making them more accurate and better suited to reflect long-term potential – supportive for acquisitions, financing and risk assessment.
Property search enhancement
Buyers care as much about the quality of a neighbourhood as the features of a property. Our data can enhance property search platforms with reliable, location-based insights that give users more confidence, and providers a competitive edge.
