How we work…

Our clients usually start with an objective. A new building, extension or alteration, a new enterprise, a change of use, an appeal, objection or the removal or variation of a condition for example.

Our first step is to provide an wholistic appraisal of our client’s objectives, measuring them against policy, statute, precedent and all other material considerations. We advise our clients upon their likely chances of success, the optimum mechanism by which to achieve their objectives, likely costs and timescale. We can never guarantee the success of a planning application, but we endeavour to provide an objective assessment to our clients enabling them to make an informed decision as to whether to proceed.

We aim to project manage our client’s planning applications from inception to determination. We can provide advice to our clients concerning amendments necessary to their proposals in order to concord with policy and work closely with designers to ensure compliance with policy, we advise on the necessity of additional consultants, drawing upon our extensive network of trusted partners where necessary. We provide detailed, researched planning justifications, demonstrating to Local Authorities in a language they can understand how our clients proposals meet with all policy and statutory requirements.
