We specialise in the preparation, negotiation and submission of a full range of planning applications as well as having inhouse environmental services such as Landscape, Ecology, Arboriculture, Heritage and Archaeology, meaning we can put together a robust application which can significantly improve chances of securing planning permission.
We can provide full project management to guide you through the planning application process, we have worked with well trusted consultants as well as numerous local planning authorities to ensure the project is delivered on time and a full package.
The first step in providing planning consultant services involves an initial consultation with clients to understand their requirements and expectations. This stage involves understanding relevant information such as site location, budgets, and project deadlines.
We can help establish the principles for the future delivery of sustainable development and green infrastructure, using a robust strategy that will be informed by desk based social, economic and environmental assessments. We can then conduct a comprehensive site analysis to evaluate the feasibility of the project, identify potential constraints that could limit a project, as well as identify opportunities.
We then produce required planning reports that outline the proposed development in line with local planning policies, regulations, and guidelines. These reports may include drawings, site plans, and project schedules.
A Design and Access Statement (DAS) supports a planning application to illustrate the process that has led to the development proposal and is a requirement for some types of development under town and country planning law. The DAS would include a ‘Vision’ for the development through the use of urban design principles, published landscape character, any relevant designations, and strategic recommendations for the site.
Next we our help clients to prepare and submit planning applications to the relevant authorities. We also oversee the application process and liaise with local authorities, building control officers, and other relevant parties to ensure that the application process runs smoothly.
Depending on the size of the development, planning consultants may organise public consultation events to gather feedback from the community and stakeholders.
In some cases, planning applications aren’t always straight forward. If that is the case, we help clients to appeal these decisions and represent their interests in front of planning committees, public inquiries, or other legal proceedings.
After planning approval is granted we can provide further services such as project management and site supervision as well as other environmental services to ensure that the development complies with planning conditions.
Overall, our goal is to help you to navigate the complex planning process and achieve your development objectives in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner.
