We provide full representation throughout the planning process or varying levels of input as and when required. Often clients instruct us both as planning advisors and project managers to see their project through from inception to completion.

We offer a free no obligation consultation of your project; providing you with a strategic overview from a planning policy perspective and an indication of how your project is likely to fare through the planning process.

This is a formal process of engaging with the local planning authority at an early stage. This often provides a good opportunity to ‘test the water’ and get an understanding of what the key issues will be for any future application.

We prepare and submit the appropriate planning application to suit the project. It may be an outline application to establish the principle of the development or a full application with all the details necessary to allow the project to be delivered.
 
We work with an established network of tried and tested development professionals including architects, engineers, ecologists and other consultants to make sure that, where necessary, applications are accompanied by all of the necessary information.

We are well placed to assist with a planning appeal whether we have been involved from the start or if you are in receipt of a decision notice and now feel you need professional help. Rather than rushing into an appeal we will always review what has gone before and make sure that a planning appeal is the right decision – balancing both the benefits and the risks.
 
Where the local planning authority has acted unreasonably there may be grounds for an award of costs to you as the applicant and we can also advise on this.

The planning process is complex and it is not surprising that many people inadvertently breach the planning rules.
 
We are able to represent parties through enforcement proceedings which in many cases can be resolved either through the submission of a retrospective planning application or through applying for a certificate of lawful use for the works. We undertake to ensure that our clients’ interests are protected whatever the enforcement situation.
