Town Planning Support
For Architects, Designers, Developers and Private Clients
Navigating the planning system is complex, but we’re here to help. With expertise in appraisals, applications, and appeals, we provide clear guidance to maximise successful outcomes.
Appraisals
Our Planning Appraisal service assesses your site’s development potential, reviewing planning policies, constraints, and opportunities. We provide expert advice to maximise the chances of securing permission, helping landowners, developers, and investors navigate the UK planning system with confidence.
Applications
Our Planning Application service guides you through the process of securing permission, ensuring compliance with validation requirements and local and national planning policies. We prepare and submit applications of all types, address potential objections, and provide expert support to maximise approval chances for your development
Appeals
Our Planning Appeals service helps challenge refused applications with expert guidance. We assess refusal reasons, prepare strong appeal cases, and represent clients throughout the process to maximise the chances of a successful outcome.
About Us
Rob and Tony met at Nottingham Trent University while studying for their BA (Hons) degrees in Town & Country Planning in the 1980’s and have remained close friends ever since.
As Chartered Town Planning Consultants, they have worked continuously in the industry, combining extensive experience and expertise gained from consultancy roles with architects and legal practices, as well as from senior development control management positions within Local Government planning departments.
Based in central southern England, they have collaborated with most Local Authorities in the region. Over the years, they have also built a strong network of contacts across related disciplines, including architecture, arboriculture, ecology, and heritage.
