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 stronger, easier to understand and easier to 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, 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.
Tell us about the scheme, the planning authority, your programme or deadline and the evidence required.
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.
Selected experience
Relevant project experience across Health Impact Assessments, socio-economic analysis and human health evidence for major planning applications and development proposals.
