It might be a cliché, but we regularly punch above our weight.
We've developed powerful working relationships with our clients and partners based on our expertise, honest advice and personal approach.
Based in the Northwest, we work across the UK, and our reputation has been cultivated by the strength and depth of our work and the results we have secured. Our size also affords us agility and speed, which, when brought together, provides a compelling offering.
With the same high levels of expert knowledge as a national company, years of experience, and countless contacts, we can help you achieve your objectives.
Our company is driven by core values that place our clients and partners at the heart of everything we do. As an extension of your team, we're invested in the best possible outcome.
We know that projects can take many twists and turns, so we stay close to your project to solve problems and achieve success.
Our team delivers pragmatic advice at the early stages to help you decide whether to commit to a project through to giving detailed planning advice and support, all tailored to suit your needs.

David Oldham, Director, Edge Hill University"I see S&L as one of the region’s leading planning consultancies in terms of their expertise and effectiveness"
We achieve the best outcomes for our clients, team, and environment.
We work with people who create buildings and spaces for people to use and enjoy. We bring experience and knowledge like many other consultants, but we also bring determination, patience and empathy when needed.
Planning can sometimes be a controversial topic. We recognise that houses are homes for people – a first home or a growing family home; that a university building can help to inspire students to do their best; and that an industrial warehouse or convenience store provides a job and purpose for some. At S&L, we celebrate and support change because it equals growth at all levels.
