Services

All of the assignments undertaken by Astoria Consulting have been very different from one another, reflecting the varied needs and circumstances of our clients. Rather than pigeonhole our services into snappy product ranges, we work hard to develop solutions that make a difference to the day-to-day challenges faced by our customers. Our services cover the following areas of regeneration consultancy:

• Strategy and planning – Astoria Consulting is good at seeing the wood for the trees. With first hand experience in regeneration, we can assess strategic policy or operational issues in a way that delivers practical solutions grounded in reality.
  Planning review for Lee Valley Regional Park Authority.

• Appraisal and evaluation – Astoria Consulting’s rigorous and analytical approach lends itself well to appraisal and evaluation exercises where there is a need to present complex, technical information in a straightforward manner. We have experience in delivering best value reviews, project appraisals, regeneration programme evaluations and strategic reviews across a range of regeneration activities.
  Socio-economic impact assessment work for Indigo Planning.

• Project management and delivery – Astoria Consulting provide strategic and hands on project management support for a range of regeneration and neighbourhood renewal initiatives. We have particular expertise in the management of complex partnership projects and processes.
