Planning applications and appeals
We prepare carefully researched, comprehensive, fully justified planning applications and appeals. We monitor and manage submissions, address concerns and maintain an emphasis on the key principles and arguments.
Listed building consent applications
We work with heritage advisors to make sure your listed building proposals are fully researched and evidenced, properly argued and effectively presented. This offers the best chance of success.
Appraisals and advice
In depth assessments to establish the full planning potential of your site or project. Objective advice and effective strategies to protect your interests, avoid pitfalls and realise the true potential of your property assets.
Permitted development and prior approval
We navigate you through the detailed stipulations of the General Permitted Development Order, providing clear, concise advice about what is possible and how to make the most of the Order’s provisions. Our methodical approach means you can make the most of your permitted development rights without worrying about getting caught out about by the detail.
Engagement
We believe in the power of engagement to help make development work for everyone, to improve proposals and to smooth the planning process. We engage communities, councils, councillors and stakeholders at all levels to improve understanding of your projects, to secure support and deliver win-win outcomes.
Land and site promotion
We take a creative and positive approach to land and site promotion, looking for unique and meaningful opportunities - problems that development can solve and lasting benefits that can be secured. We present, explain and demonstrate this potential to secure site allocations and influence the preparation of new planning policy.
Contesting enforcement action
We’re forensic in our approach to examining and investigating alleged breaches of planning control. We work tirelessly to establish the facts and find the information and evidence you need and provide objective advice to help you understand and protect your position. We apply our evidence led approach to enforcement appeals, negotiations, certificate of lawfulness applications and planning applications to regularise your activities and development.
Making the most of your planning permission
Our aim is to enable you to start your development at the earliest possible juncture. We’re experts in amending planning permissions, discharging conditions and negotiating section 106 obligations. We collaborate, pre-empt issues, make sure applications are thorough and maintain the momentum so that you get results sooner.
Pre-application enquiries
Our objective is to ensure you get meaningful pre-application advice that leaves you better informed about the prospects of your land, site or project. We make sure that your local planning authority is provided with the right information and is asked the right questions. We engage the planning authority and analyse and interpret their responses so that you get the answers you need.
