Kelvin MacDonald & Associates is adopting an ethical and environmentally sensitive approach to all its work. This is embodied in the company’s environmental statement.

We also adopt a particular approach to our commissions. We draw on the commitment and expertise of those individuals who are best suited to a particular task and can draw upon the services of experts who cover the range of knowledge and experience that are needed to create sustainable development and places. We adopt a very rigorous approach to gathering evidence and undertaking policy research drawing on a high level of knowledge and practical experience and using this to develop new ways of thinking and innovative but practical solutions. We embody a set of beliefs about the potential of planning and the role of spatial policy in wider agendas and judge potential projects by their challenge and potential value for planning practice. We treat our clients in an open, honest and co-operative way.

We bring this commitment and level of professionalism to all the
work we do.
