What we do
Applications
Drive positive outcomes with help from our planning experts.
Drive through positive outcomes with our planning experts who have a track record in achieving successful planning applications for clients thanks to extensive experience and knowledge at a national level, coupled with local insight
We take a professional and detailed approach to design & access statements, feasibility studies and pre-planning meetings considering local issues, culture and challenges. We also provide innovative and creative elements to add value to your scheme while ensuring it remains practical and deliverable from a commercial and local authority perspective.
Our collaborative culture means we can help assemble and professionally manage experts across transport, architecture, environmental & biodiversity and landscaping and work with the local community to win support. In addition, we can bring in our best in class colleagues from our building consultancy, residential and commercial divisions – depending on the nature of the scheme.
Whether the scheme is greenfield or brownfield, a large master planning urban or civic design project, or smaller restoration or repurposing or other project, we will assemble the best experts to deliver a positive outcome that meets objectives.
As part of the application process we will also guide you through the various negotiations and conditions/agreements that local authorities stipulate are put in place for proposed developments. These include S106 agreements and CIL payments that are put towards the funding of public infrastructure.
Our experts are able to conduct quantitative and qualitative studies, employment studies, viability and other studies, which are essential for town centre, residential and retail applications. Once planning is achieved, we continue to ensure the scheme is delivered as designed managing any further amends or community concerns through construction. We can also advise on enforcement matters if there is a suspected breach of planning control.
