Regeneration & Mixed Use: Placemaking with Purpose
Regenerating town centres presents a unique opportunity for placemaking, where creativity, community needs, and strategic thinking come together to reimagine familiar spaces. At Solve Planning, we thrive on the challenges that complex or sensitive town centre sites often bring.
Working closely with clients and design teams, we help unlock the potential of these areas, guiding projects from concept to delivery.
There’s immense satisfaction in seeing these spaces transformed—whether it’s through creating vibrant new residential developments or curating commercial and leisure spaces that inject fresh energy into towns like Maidenhead and Aylesbury. Every successful regeneration scheme we support contributes to a more dynamic, liveable, and welcoming town centre.

Our experience spans:
• Town centre regeneration sites
• Strategic housing sites

We understand the nuanced challenges of each site type and bring the knowledge and creativity needed to deliver practical planning solutions. Our team leads the process from start to finish, with services including:
• Coordinating multidisciplinary project teams

We’re passionate about shaping high-quality residential environments that are both viable and sustainable and are always attuned to the communities they serve.
Sports, Education & Social Infrastructure
At Solve Planning, we bring specialist expertise to education, sports, social infrastructure projects and developments that are essential to creating inclusive, thriving communities. We’re proud to support their successful delivery through clear, strategic planning advice tailored to each project’s unique needs.
Our education portfolio covers everything from new schools to specialist learning environments, always aligned with institutional goals, stakeholder engagement, and local policy requirements.
In the sports sector, our work is as diverse as the facilities we help deliver. From securing permissions for temporary event infrastructure to advising on the creation of permanent, purpose-built venues, we offer practical planning leadership throughout.
Whether for a local community hub or a regionally significant site, our team provides the insight, coordination, and perseverance needed to navigate even the most complex planning challenges.
Our experience includes planning for a wide variety of sporting facilities, such as:
• Golf clubs
• Cricket grounds
• Padel courts
• Athletic tracks
• Racing stables
• Football grounds
At Solve Planning, we understand that these projects do more than meet sporting needs, they help foster well-being, community identity and long-term vitality.
