New-Build Development Planning & design.
Designing from scratch gives you freedom—but it also raises the stakes. Every decision matters, and getting it right from day one is key. At Aesthetic Shift, we bring planning insight and purposeful design together to deliver new-build schemes that are commercially sound, technically clear, and built for long-term success.
From feasibility to full technical drawings, everything is managed in-house by a team that understands the pace of development and moves quickly to keep your project on track. Whether it’s residential, mixed-use, or multi-unit housing, we focus on outcomes—maximising value without losing sight of design quality or future flexibility.

Design and Planning That Deliver Value, Not Just planning Permission.
With new-builds, every decision matters. There’s no existing structure to work around—but that freedom comes with pressure to get it right from the start. At Aesthetic Shift, we don’t just aim for planning approval—we design with long-term value in mind.


We look beyond compliance to create developments that work harder: optimising layouts, balancing density with liveability, and future-proofing assets for evolving needs. Every element—from massing to unit mix—is shaped by the site and driven by your commercial goals.
Whether you’re pursuing residential, mixed-use, or larger schemes, we bring planning insight and technical design together under one roof—so you can move forward with confidence, clarity, and a plan that holds up all the way to delivery.
End-to-End Retrofit Planning and Design.
Designing a new-build scheme from the ground up is full of moving parts—but with the right team, it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. At Aesthetic Shift, we manage every stage of the process under one roof, combining smart strategy with precise technical delivery to keep your project clear, focused, and firmly on track.
From the earliest appraisals to detailed design packages, our in-house team works collaboratively to simplify complexity and reduce risk. We help you make informed decisions faster, navigate planning with confidence, and move seamlessly from drawings to delivery—always with your commercial objectives front and centre.

Why Aesthetic Shift?
New-builds are a blank canvas—but success depends on more than just good design. At Aesthetic Shift, we bring together planning insight and commercially driven architecture to create developments that perform from day one.
Whether you’re building residential units, mixed-use spaces, or housing at scale, we move quickly to assess potential, navigate constraints, and shape proposals that align with local policy, meet market demand, and maximise long-term return.
This isn’t just about getting a scheme through planning. It’s about designing smart from the ground up—balancing quality, efficiency, and commercial outcomes to make every square metre work harder.
