Our Story
Base-geyser was established in 1997 by a group of planning professionals who believed that urban development could be both economically viable and environmentally responsible. What began as a small consultancy in Central London has grown into one of the UK's most respected independent planning practices.
Our founders recognised early on that successful place-making requires more than technical planning expertise. It demands an understanding of how communities function, how economies evolve, and how the built environment shapes human behaviour and wellbeing.
Today, we continue to build on these principles, working with local authorities, developers, housing associations, and community groups to deliver planning solutions that stand the test of time. Our portfolio includes projects ranging from individual site assessments to strategic frameworks for entire city regions.
Our Approach
We take an evidence-based approach to planning, grounding our recommendations in thorough research and analysis. Every project begins with a comprehensive understanding of the site, its context, and the aspirations of those who will use it.
Long-Term Thinking
We plan for decades ahead, considering how places will evolve and adapt to changing needs over time.
Community Focus
Meaningful engagement with local communities ensures our plans reflect genuine needs and aspirations.
Integrated Solutions
Our multidisciplinary expertise means coherent strategies that address transport, environment, and design together.
