Testimonials We have helped clients deliver their development ambitions for 35 years in an efficient and timely manner. Here are some of the testimonials that we have received. “Working with Terence O’Rourke is always a pleasure. Local planning authorities face considerable pressures and Terence O’Rourke understands this, working alongside us as partners, not adversaries. The community is at the heart of their submissions, not just a box to be ticked.” Geof Muggeridge Director of Community & Environmental Services Three Rivers District Council “Chewton Glen is one of the most renowned Hotels and Spas in the World. Terence O’Rourke has successfully supported the evolution of this unique property with design and planning solutions - the most significant being the Treehouse Suites. The practice’s experience of large and high profile national projects coupled with the team’s local knowledge added a huge amount of value to this project which, since its completion in 2012 has brought the hotel unprecedented international PR exposure and improved the dynamics of the business.” Andrew Stembridge Executive Director Chewton Glen “The TOR team specialises in really challenging planning tasks. What defines them is not just their intellectual ability to make a technical planning case, but their antennae and political judgment to navigate the public mood, consultees and council chambers.” Rick de Blaby Chief executive Get Living “Stonebridge has been transformed with new homes, community facilities and employment opportunities. It is unrecognisable from the 1960’s council estate with its tower blocks, high crime rates and poor environment. The residents have been involved at all stages of this 20 year regeneration project and the new Stonebridge is well equipped to serve the needs of all parts of the local community.” Estella Magloire Stonebridge resident and former chair of Hillside Housing Trust Ltd “Building the UK’s future zoos requires a knowledge and respect for conservation and animal welfare, and the ability to challenge the accepted relationship between the landscape and the building. Terence O’Rourke worked with us to understand the complex relationships and requirements of the ‘Wild Explorers’ species and assisted in producing a truly world class exhibit, respectful of our ethos.” James Cretney Chief Executive Marwell Wildlife Award winning projects for over 30 years Our work is regularly recognised as being of exceptional quality by fellow planning, design and environmental experts who sit on awards panels.
