The Earls Court Masterplan, created approximately 2010, created four villages and a high street as the main place-making concept for the site. The four ‘villages’ were Earls Court, West Brompton, North End and West Kensington. In the masterplan Terry Farrell and Partners proposed a north-south orientation for the 21st century high street. This changed to an east-west orientation at a later masterplan concept stage, from North End Road to the east to Earls Court Station in the West. As part of this change Broadway was proposed as the main north-south route running through the site. For this reason, some of the design sketches are branded “BW” (not to be confused with Bluewater).

In 2011 Farrells produced a series of initial strategies and a masterplan for a residential development on the Dissington Estate and adjoining Birney Hall just outside of Ponteland. Its principles were based on that of the 'eco town', or 'green village,' principles of the Bicester masterplan.

In 2012-2013 Farrells were involved in masterplanning a revival of Alexandra Palace as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund bid. Alexandra Palace is a Victorian Grade II listed entertainment venue which was initially conceived of in 1859 as 'The Palace of the People.'

In 2012 it was reported that over half the building was derelict or out of use. The masterplan had distinctive objectives: to connect the edge of the building with the surrounding parkland, to make the building fully accessible by enhancing connectivity across the building from east to west, and from the south entrance. This involved improved access through Palm Court, West Hall, Great Hall, Ice Skating Rink, BBC Wing and Theatre. Finally, 3 key regeneration projects for distinct segments of the building were identified (a new hotel, upgrading the great hall, and opening up the derelict spaces, such as the theatre and the BBC wing). A public consultation process was included in development of the masterplan to rank the items of revival in terms of importance.

Landowners of Railtrack PLC wanted to appoint a masterplanner/architect to develop a disused railways goods yard. It is unclear whether Terry Farrell and Partners were appointed or if the project was eventually executed.

Between 2009-2011, the Newcastle Gateshead City Development Company was founded as a regeneration and investment organisation to encourage investment specific Newcastle and Gateshead city areas. It received a funding of £500,000 a year from each of its three partners (Newcastle City Council, Gateshead Council, and the One North East regional development agency).

In July 2010 announced that Farrells were the preferred tenderer for the ‘Developing Newcastle Gateshead’ contract to oversee the development of the Newcastle-Gateshead 1Plan – an economic and spatial strategy for Newcastle-Gateshead. Among the capital projects proposed by the plan were: (1) The creation of the North-east’s first International Conference and Exhibition Centre as part of the regeneration of Gateshead Quays, with a mix of uses including homes, offices, leisure and retail; (2) The next phase of development in the Ouseburn cultural quarter, including between 60 and 80 new homes in partnership with the Homes and Communities Agency using £4 million Public Land Initiative funding; (3) The acceleration of the development of Science Central (creation of 40,000 square metres of office and teaching space pre-let by Newcastle University Business School, along with a £30 million student village), a project already underway by Downing Developments.

In September 2011, following cuts to council budgets, and the abolishment by central government of One North East, Newcastle and Gateshead councils announced this scheme would be replaced by a "business development commission" which would work with the marketing agency Newcastle-Gateshead.

In 2006, Farrells enagaged with Land Securities to create a masterplan of the East End of Oxford Street. This area was argued to be obstructive to the overall use capacity of West Oxford Street, disconnecting Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury from Soho and Covent Garden. East Oxford Street was perceived to have poor retail value, lacked high quality public space, suffered from pedestrian congestion, excessive noise and pollution. There was also uncertainty about future planning for the area. The masterplan initially wanted to extend the high street along sidestreets and use commercial anchors to cement the high street location, taking advantage of the natural infrastructure connections of the area.

This project ran from 2005-2009 and was one element of a vision to form a cultural quarter within Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The Hancock Museum was a natural sciences museum in Newcastle-upon-Tyne housed in a Grade 2 listed building. It occupied an elevated position at the northern entrance to the city centre, on the edge of Newcastle University’s campus. Occupying a prominent site on the Great North Road the brief was for the building to address its setting in relation to the city, and to maximise exhibition space with a reinterpretation of the varied collection by exhibition designers, Casson Mann. Also central to the scheme was a vision to unite three separate but important collections within the city - the natural history collections of the former Hancock Museum, the Greek and Etruscan artefacts from the Shefton Museum, and the collection of the Museum of Antiquities, with some fine and decorative art from the Hatton Gallery.

The project aimed to conserve and enhance the original historic building. As such, there were two distinct project phases - the refurbishment of the existing Hancock Museum, and an extensive internal restoration. The project included a new three storey extension at the rear of the original building to house special exhibitions, along with council and social rooms, a library, archives and an education zone. The new museum was re-named The Great North Museum and opened in May 2009.

This project dates from 2003-2010 and consists of distinct project phases relating to the scheme to redevelop land north and south of Royal Street close to St Thomas' Hospital proposed by the Terry Farrell Partnership. This involved designing a series of residential towers on derelict land. Lambeth Council originally rejected the designed proposals for Founder's Place in 2006. The original rejection focused on listed buildings within the proposed project area and the status of some protected trees, along with the availability of sunlight for existing residents, and some objections from local community groups. After a public inquiry the scheme was approved in 2007. The scheme was designed to provide a range of affordable and private housing and health facilities. This included key worker accommodation and accommodation for families of sick children being treated at the Evelina Children's Hospital. A scaled down application focusing on Canterbury House and Ronald McDonald House was submitted in 2009. However, in 2010 Guy's and St Thomas' Charity conducted a financial and general risk appraisal and withdrew support for the scheme.
