Barton Willmore

Barton Willmore is the UK’s leading independent planning and design consultancy.

From our 13 offices nationwide, we combine national influence with local knowledge to offer you the very best advice.

We build teams of passionate people. People who are passionate about creating places that are not only commercially viable, but also sustainable, dynamic and progressive. From small country housing developments to city centre skyscrapers, our specialist teams can plan, design and deliver it.

By working alongside each other day-in, day-out, our teams each have a unique ‘big picture’ perspective, which enables us to provide you with informed, yet innovative advice and proposals while also saving you time and money.

As a national Practice, we use our size to make a difference. By pushing the standards of legislation, stakeholder engagement and sustainability ever higher, we aim to influence methods of practice and projects, for the good of the property industry, local communities and the environment.

We are also a network of local offices spread throughout England, Scotland and Wales, each with its own ambitions and understanding of what makes their local region tick. This enables us to provide targeted insight to produce great results, no matter what the location of a scheme.

“Barton Willmore opened a Southampton office in 2016 with a clear vision to support a strategic plan for linking infrastructure and growth on the South Coast, to unlock opportunities and deliver greater economic competitiveness. As the UK’s largest independent Planning and Design Consultancy, we are passionate about creating places, delivering results and adding value. We are keen to enable development that comes forward in a sustainable manner and are proud to support a movement that supports the fantastic assets of the South Coast. This area is home to precious landscapes which we believe can work in harmony with a thriving, economically successful community.”
