Our Services
- Planning Consultancy Services

- Planning Agent and Project Lead Services
As part of our business, we can provide in house planning, architecture, highways and overarching lead agent services.
At the beginning of your appointment, we shall identify the correct course of action, select the correct planning application and contributors, then recommend a strategy to get you where you need to be as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Building positive and long lasting relationships forms the core of our business. With clients, our consultant specialists we work with regularly (covering ecology, arboriculture, BNG, Flood Risk, topographical surveys, traffic surveys and others), local authority officers and all other types of stakeholders.
We may recommend starting with an initial due diligence review of your situation to determine if your proposal has a reasonable chance of planning gain or planning success before you commit to higher costs. This may include a site visit, initial meetings and engagement with clients and other key parties or contributors, assessment of relevant planning stakeholders or other interested parties, checks on relevant local planning authority validation requirements or consideration of pre application enquiry (highways or planning) options.
