Cass Associates has extensive masterplanning experience throughout the UK and internationally. The Practice has particular expertise in dealing with large, derelict sites, where a wide range of complex issues need to be addressed, such as planning policies, poor environment, contamination, market perception, community needs, funding and economic performance. Cass Associates has also worked extensively in inner urban areas, working closely with existing businesses and communities, to produce development strategies which address underlying problems such as security, access, environment and building condition. In a different context, the Practice has worked on large-scale new developments, including new or expanded towns and villages, business parks, housing and leisure projects.

A consistent theme is the need to identify and maximise existing or potential assets, to create a climate for investment confidence, and bring about development which is environmentally, economically and socially sustainable.
