Whilst projects can often appear straightforward, they seldom are. Planning Policy, legislation, bureaucracy and objections from consultees or stakeholders often make for a complex and time-consuming process to achieve your development goals. Whilst some people choose to rely on their architect for the planning process, not all issues raised will be design-related. Instead, planning consultants that have knowledge of planning policy and case law can play a key role in securing your planning permission. As a professionally accredited, chartered member of the Royal Town Planning Institute, we will be up to date with changes to policy frameworks and legislation, ensuring that you are receiving the most up-to-date advice to inform your application for planning permission.
A planning consultant manages the application process and will guide you through the key issues and complexities with the planning system. For example, we would submit, monitor and manage an application through to the decision, which often includes difficult negotiations with Local Authority planning officers. We can also help you understand if other technical disciplines might be required, such as transport consultants, tree consultants or ecologists, aiming to save you time and cost by getting it right the first time around. Alternatively, we can advise you early-on through a site or development appraisal if there are other constraints or challenges that you may face. Ultimately helping you avoid wasting time and money pursuing something that is unlikely to be supported by the local planning authority.
Below we’ve detailed a few of our particular highlights, where we’ve managed to achieve a successful outcome for interesting or unique opportunities.
