Site Appraisals

Our multidisciplinary team of experts has built considerable expertise in delivering site appraisals for a range of projects, from mixed use development and urban extension to energy and transport infrastructure.

From the outset, we focus on sustainability, viability and delivery to assess the intrinsic characteristics of a site and its often complex reciprocal relationships with the surrounding context.

Our approach to site assessment combines technical rigour with creativity and extensive experience. We believe that through undertaking comprehensive appraisals at an early stage of the project we can critically assess opportunities and isolate potential risk to establish a clear project path that maximises development returns. WYG adopt a suite of approaches to site appraisal including:

• development opportunity and constraints appraisals,
• access and infrastructure analysis,
• land use, layout and scale,
• townscape assessment and street scene appraisal
• landscape & Visual baseline,
• landscape Character Assessment
• site base verification of visual impact and effect
• open space analysis and audit
• hedgerow and tree surveys
• historic Landscape Appraisal
• qualitative night time Darkness and Lighting appraisal
