Planning applications
We prepare applications on a wide-ranging scale, from greenfield residential and employment schemes through to town centre regeneration and large-scale energy projects. We have extensive experience, from small local scale through to strategic development across all sectors including residential (including BTR and affordable), retail, commercial, education, healthcare, senior living and energy.
Feasibility studies
Our early intervention, by carrying out planning appraisals, ensures we identify the challenges and the potential planning opportunities for land and buildings. The priority is to establish whether planning constraints can be unlocked to help our clients realise the full potential of their assets. This allows us to map a way forward with the client to take sites through the planning process, from inception to delivery.
Local plan promotion
Promoting sites through development plans is essential to protect and promote our clients’ interests and to maximise the development potential including land value. This includes Local Plan preparation, advice on housing numbers and employment land. Our preparation is demonstrated in our success at Local Plan Hearings across the UK.
Planning appeals
Our planning specialists act as expert witnesses across the UK and have an excellent track record in winning appeals across all sectors, including specialisms in housing, employment land, retail and energy development.
Specialisms
Our skillset means our specialist planners are able to unlock complicated projects including affordable housing provision; retail impact and sequential tests; employment land; data centres; and renewable energy. Working with our sector specialists we are also able to negotiate complex planning permissions, obligations and CIL.
Strategic development
We provide clear advice on taking sites through from inception to delivery. This includes identifying a site’s planning potential, promotion through development plans, working with masterplanners and securing planning permission.
