Planning
We understand the importance of specialist planning advice to identify, quantify and realise the development potential of our clients’ property assets.
Our clients include private individuals, companies, institutions and public sector bodies. They all benefit from our practical, sustainable and intelligent planning solutions, based on a keen understanding of local issues with an informed national perspective.
We have a proven track record of obtaining planning permissions. Whatever the nature of your development project, we’ll take care of the whole planning process from pre-application consultation, the submission and management of planning applications, Section 106 negotiations to appeals and inquiries.
Our planners offer a comprehensive strategic planning capability, from appraising sites, promoting them through the Local Development Framework preparation process to preparing planning briefs and managing projects.
