Nexus Analytics & Research
Data-led Health Impact Assessments and socio-economic and human health evidence for developers, housebuilders and land promoters. Clear analysis that helps make the planning case easier to understand, evidence and communicate.
Evidence made clear
Complex development proposals often need more than a planning argument. They need robust evidence that clearly demonstrates local context, likely impacts, need and benefit.
Nexus Analytics & Research combines demographic, economic, socio-economic, human health and spatial analysis to help clients build a clearer evidence base for planning and development decisions.
Your proposal requires clearer evidence to support the planning case.
Potential health effects need to be assessed and communicated clearly.
An Environmental Statement requires socio-economic or human health evidence.
Complex data needs turning into a concise and credible development narrative.
Specialist support
Our analysis is tailored to the development, planning context and evidence requirement rather than applying a standardised approach.
Evidence-led assessment of how development may affect health and wellbeing, helping project teams understand potential impacts and demonstrate how positive outcomes can be supported.
Human health analysis for Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Statement work, drawing together population, health and development evidence within the wider assessment process.
Socio-economic assessment that helps explain how a development interacts with its local area, including population, housing, employment, services and wider economic effects.
Our approach
We establish the planning context, development proposal and the evidence that needs to be addressed.
We interrogate demographic, economic, health and spatial data relevant to the project and location.
Findings are developed into robust assessment material supporting the wider planning application or Environmental Statement.
Complex findings are distilled into clear conclusions, graphics and recommendations that decision-makers can understand.
Relevant experience
NAR supports major development proposals with robust socio-economic and human health evidence prepared as part of the wider Environmental Statement and planning process.
Our role is to establish the relevant baseline, assess likely effects and translate complex evidence into clear findings that integrate with the wider planning case.
Proven experience
NAR supports private-sector developers, housebuilders, institutions and public authorities with evidence-led research and analysis.
Why Nexus Analytics & Research
NAR sits within Nexus Planning, connecting specialist analysis directly to the wider planning strategy.
Analysis is shaped around the development, location and specific evidence requirement.
Demographic, economic, health and spatial information is translated into accessible findings.
The objective is to provide evidence that is genuinely useful to the wider planning case.
