Hyas is a new type of consultancy focussed upon helping deliver great places through the planning system.
With a core staff of trusted and experienced professionals, a strong reputation and track record, and a unique ‘collaborative’ project focused approach, Hyas provides something different to mainstream planning consultancies.
Hyas has been founded by a small number of original members of the Advisory Team for Large Applications (ATLAS). The approach takes forward the positive, visionary and inclusive approach that has underpinned it’s success. The ethos is the same – to work with local stakeholders in an independent manner to help bring forward great places through positive working. The name ‘Hyas’ captures the essence of this evolution, as, in Greek mythology, Hyas was the son of the Titan Atlas.
The team fully understand that every project will have different needs and challenges. A bespoke service is provided addressing the specific issues, needs & challenges. We will take into account a project’s broader context, the key stakeholders involved and wider influences.
Hyas is a new, independent consultancy offering tailored support and strategic advice to help complex projects move successfully through the planning system. Our unique and trusted approach – based upon positive planning, active engagement & collaboration, a keen understanding of delivery and a mindset focussed on finding solutions – can enable stakeholders to quickly understand and diagnose issues and evolve actions and strategies to overcome them. Hyas can support with stakeholder & community engagement, planning strategy, policy making, development management, place-making, viability, infrastructure planning & scheme deliverability.
