Who we help
Evidence, not advocacy.
Councils are asked to make decisions on purpose-built student accommodation using evidence largely produced by applicants.
The problem
Independent analysis of need, supply and displacement changes the quality of that decision — and stands up when it is challenged.
What clients usually arrive with
- A local plan needing a defensible evidence base
- Competing claims about student housing need
- HMO concentration and the displacement question
- Applications to assess with no independent benchmark

Most people arrive with a scheme that is not performing, an operator they cannot read, or a board paper due Friday. Any of those is a fine place to start. Thirty minutes, no proposal attached.
