Urban Vision Enterprise
Planning | Places | Communities
Planning is more than processes, it is about finding creative solutions.
Urban Vision Enterprise is a professional consultancy providing services in planning, regeneration, economic development and third sector organisational development. UVE was established in 2011 and has offices in the Midlands and the Northwest, operating mainly in the UK. We work in all kinds of areas, including urban, suburban, rural, urban fringe, and coastal towns. We believe that planning and regeneration should be creative, problem-solving, participatory, place-making activities.
Our team includes experienced town planners and other built environment professionals. We are committed to providing the best possible service, but are also informal and approachable, and many clients see us as ‘part of the team’. One of UVE’s unique selling points is the ability to translate complex matters into concise and clear analysis and recommendations.
Many clients have found us through word-of-mouth referrals, and we get a lot of repeat business. Clients include government and funding bodies, UK and national professional bodies and membership organisations, local authorities, town and parish councils, neighbourhood forums and third sector (not-for-profit) organisations. These include the Heritage Lottery Fund, Locality, Royal Town Planning Institute and the National Trust. In addition, UVE provides a Town and Parish Council Planning Service in England.
