Axis

Since 2000, we have been a trusted and innovative planning and environmental consultancy. We’ve worked with hundreds of clients locally, nationally, and internationally including some of Europe’s largest businesses. Our mission is to deliver inclusive and sustainable urban development, and we’ve grown, adapted, and remained committed to delivering expertise and adding value for our clients on projects throughout the UK.

From our roots in Chester, we’ve expanded strategically to meet the evolving needs of our clients, and in 2025, we celebrated 25 years and took another exciting step – opening a new office in Newcastle to serve the North East. Our Newcastle office is led by Technical Director Ian Cansfield, who has been based in the North East throughout his career.

Our skills in development planning, environmental impact assessment, transport planning and design have established us as industry leaders, committed to actively changing the lived environment for the better. Together, we’re creating a sustainable future where innovative, intelligent infrastructure improves lives.
