​Michael Doyle- Urban Designer & Town Planner

I am a highly experienced town planner and urban designer based in London and Brighton. I have a proven track record of delivering successful projects across the UK and internationally.

With over 35 years in senior roles in private practice and local government, I offer professional, creative, and client-focused planning and design advice.

I help shape neighbourhoods, town centres, and public spaces where people want to live, work, and spend time.

​

What I Do

I help create places that work — for people, for communities, and for the future.

My work covers a wide range of planning and urban design services, including:

• Development advice

• Masterplanning

• Design strategies & guidance

• Town centre regeneration

• Site appraisals

• Heritage

• Public realm & placemaking strategies

• Transport strategy development

I work flexibly, independently or as part of a project team, always bringing a collaborative and design-led approach to solving complex planning and design challenges.

​

My Approach

Every place is unique. I take time to understand the specific needs of people, places, and clients — listening carefully and responding thoughtfully.

My approach is creative and collaborative, guided by the belief that good design adds value — socially, environmentally, and economically.

I offer clear, practical advice, grounded in real-world experience, helping clients navigate challenges, manage risks, and unlock the full potential of their projects through good planning and design.
