Getting planning permission is increasingly complicated and political. Neighbours and councilors can ensure applications are refused and planning officers are not there to help you get consent unless it is what they want. Poorly conceived applications are easy to refuse and a waste of your time and money. Architects are good at design and are better if supported by a planner providing the planning policy arguments.

Do you want to cut through the red tape and submit an application that has the best chance of success first time and for what you want? We will work with your architect or suggest one best suited to your project if you have not yet found one.

We provide the planning strategy and planning argument to support the drawings, manage the process, negotiate with officers and ensure that your proposal, as far as possible, satisfies the national and council planning policies.

We take a robust stance with officers who want amendments for the sake of it. We work with your time frames and overall aims for your business or property.
