AI Use and Professional Responsibility Statement

This AI Use and Professional Responsibility Statement explains how Urbanist Architecture uses artificial intelligence and AI-supported tools in connection with our professional services, internal research, review and workflow processes, including material contained on the website under the domain names urbanistarchitecture.co.uk, urbanistarchitecture.com and other associated URLs (the “Site”). In this statement, “our”, “we” and “us” refer to Urbanist Architecture Ltd.

Urbanist Architecture uses AI responsibly as part of our internal research, review and workflow processes. We only use AI within tested systems, approved tools and custom settings that we have developed to support the way we work, and always under the supervision of our professional team.

AI may assist with early-stage tasks such as document review, planning history research, summarising source material, identifying relevant issues and improving workflow efficiency. Where personal data, client information or project material is processed through AI-supported tools, we apply appropriate controls intended to protect confidentiality, security and responsible use.

AI-generated outputs are not treated as our final professional work. They are internal working inputs that may help inform, structure or support our own analysis, in the same way that research notes, planning history reviews or background summaries may support a professional assessment. AI outputs are reviewed, checked and used only where our professional team considers them appropriate.

The final advice, drawings, reports, submissions, design judgement and planning strategy issued to clients remain the work of Urbanist Architecture’s architects and planning consultants. We do not use AI to set the creative direction of a project, make final strategic decisions, or replace professional judgement.

Our systems are designed to ensure that AI remains a controlled support tool used at appropriate stages of the process, while the professional work issued to clients, councils, consultants or third parties is developed, checked and completed by our team. Clients may contact us if they have questions about our responsible use of AI in relation to their project.
