Some of Our Services

We can project manage your application from start to finish, providing initial scoping advice; advising on the necessary documentation and technical input; and acting as your planning agent through the pre-application and application processes, from validation through to determination.

A well-written planning statement provides a clear and persuasive planning case for your proposal. We demonstrate how a scheme responds to relevant planning policy and other material considerations, giving planning officers the information they need to support a positive recommendation.

We can identify the technical input your project needs and draw on our experience and relationships with a wide range of trusted specialists. We can also coordinate their input as part of the wider planning process.

Where agreement with the Council cannot be reached, or you disagree with its interpretation of policy, an appeal may be the appropriate next step. We are experienced in planning appeals and needn't have been involved in the original application to assist you. Please ask us about appeal strategy, statements and submissions.

Do you have a development idea but are unsure whether it is feasible? Or land or property whose development potential you want to understand? We can undertake a site-specific review, identifying the key planning risks and opportunities so that you can make informed decisions before committing further time and resources

We can advise on permitted development rights and provide an initial planning opinion on your proposal. We undertake due diligence assessments and can assist with Lawful Development Certificates and applications for Prior Approval where required.

Sometimes the straightest route is not the quickest. Drawing on our knowledge and experience, we can advise on the most effective route through the planning process. We won't dictate what you should do: we'll explain the options, risks and opportunities so that you can make a fully informed decision.

Most planning permissions contain conditions and, in some cases, planning obligations that must be addressed before development can proceed. We can advise on what is required, coordinate the necessary technical input and manage applications to discharge conditions, helping you avoid unnecessary delays in starting work.

Not every planning issue fits neatly into one of the categories above. We can also advise on enforcement and planning breaches, retrospective planning matters and other more unusual or complex planning issues. If you are unsure whether we can help, please get in touch to discuss your situation.
