Planning Permission
We prepare and manage your planning application through to determination by the local authority. We work alongside architects and consultants, so we can recommend a team of trusted professionals to support your application.
Estate Advice and Asset Management
We produce planning and development appraisals for landowners, developers, and investors to maximise development potential.
Pre-Application Negotiations and Consultation
We prepare and manage pre-application submissions, facilitate stakeholder engagement and attend public exhibitions and meetings.
Advertisement Consent
We can work with your supplier or designer to prepare detailed applications for advertisement consent.
Change of Use Application
We regularly prepare simple or large-scale change-of-use applications, whether converting a pub or a large-scale vacant building. We can connect with local architects and consultants in preparing the information needed for a successful outcome.
Preparation of Planning Statements
Sometimes, you may only need a Planning Statement or one of the many other statements required by local planning authorities to ensure your application is valid. Just ask; we may be able to help.
Appraisals & Advice
We produce planning and development appraisals for landowners, developers, and investors. Get in touch early to see whether your project has potential and the best course of action.
Site Promotion & Local Plan Representations
We advise and prepare representations through the Local and Neighbourhood Plan processes to influence planning policy.
Permitted Development & Prior Approval
Our team provides advice on permitted development rights, including the provision of new buildings and changes of use without the need for planning permission, as well as preparing and submitting applications for prior approval.
Planning Appeals
Our detailed research, careful preparation and clear presentation of your planning appeal will ensure you achieve the best results.
Listed Building and Conservation Area Consent
If you want to demolish, extend or alter a listed building, we can prepare an application for listed building or conservation area consent and liaise with statutory consultees if required.
Variation of Planning Permission
Inevitably some planning permissions may need to be amended before and during construction. We can prepare simple non-material amendment applications or minor amendment applications to suit.
