Rebecca Clark
Senior Urban Designer
Rebecca has over three years’ experience working in the public sector as an urban designer within the development process and planning policy. Her background in planning underpins a clear understanding of how strong design ideas are translated into deliverable, high-quality places.
Rebecca has experience working within the development management process as a design consultee, providing written, visual, and verbal urban design advice across pre-application, outline, full, and reserved matters stages, and at a range of development scales. This role required a design-led assessment of proposals, informed by a strong awareness of the national shift towards well-designed places and the use of evolving design tools, guidance, and methods.
She has a strong background in developing masterplans rooted in thorough urban analysis and a deep understanding of context. Her experience spans early concept planning and spatial strategies through to detailed masterplans, including street sections, movement networks and hierarchies, densities, public realm structure, built form, and character areas. Her work focuses on creating coherent, responsive environments that establish and sustain a strong sense of place over time.
Rebecca has worked across a wide range of scales and uses, from mixed-use urban regeneration and housing-led extensions to historically sensitive interventions and additions. She has experience leading and contributing to public consultation, working closely with local communities, stakeholders, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure proposals are shaped by local voices and everyday experience. Alongside this, she has reviewed design policies and identified opportunities within emerging design frameworks to strengthen placemaking outcomes.
I believe that urban design is the process that creates a built environment that supports healthy, happy lifestyles, reconnects us with nature, and adapts to climate change, shaping resilient, joyful places where people and nature interact over time.
