Our services

As part of an application, Councils can sometimes ask for Section 106 (S106) contributions on your proposed development. These support the provision of services and infrastructure within the locality. If you are being asked to complete a S106, we can provide the necessary support to help facilitate the approval process.

Planning conditions are often attached to planning permissions by the Council as a means to secure further information on certain details (such as drainage). Sometimes, these need to be discharged prior to you commencing development. We can review your consent, its conditions, and provide detailed guidance on the next steps.

If you have concerns about a nearby planning application but want to ensure that your thoughts are based on solid, planning policy-based grounds, we can prepare and submit a representation for you. Our expert team will ensure your concerns are clearly communicated and emphasised to the Council for their consideration.

Each site is individually assessed in-house by our expert planning team to determine its true development potential. We provide reliable, professional advice that you can trust, ensuring transparency throughout the process. Our team is committed to offering upfront and honest recommendations to help you make informed decisions for your project.

Sometimes, submitting a draft version of your proposal to the Council can be beneficial. This helps to gauge the acceptability of your development proposal before making a formal application. We can prepare and submit this enquiry, offering a comprehensive review of the Council’s conclusions to guide your next steps efficiently.

If your application has been recently dismissed by the Council, we can thoroughly examine the reasons for refusal and guide you through the associated next steps. We can prepare and submit a comprehensive planning appeal to The Planning Inspectorate, on your behalf, ensuring your case is presented effectively and professionally.

When considering larger sites for residential or commercial development, the Council typically requires the land to be allocated as part of the Development Plan. We prepare and submit the necessary documentation and evidence to promote your site as part of this process, advising on the best strategy available to you.

If you believe that your development is lawful, or need advice on whether it could be considered lawful, we can advise you on the options available to you. We can also assist you with the preparation of Statutory Declarations, ensuring your project meets legal requirements and increasing chances of approval.

We know that being served an Enforcement Notice or Planning Contravention Notice (PCN) can bring about feelings of anxiousness and unease. Working with you, we can undertake a thorough review of the case and provide you with clear advice on the next steps to ensure that you understand your opportunities.

We can prepare and submit various Prior Approval planning applications for your development proposal, including Home Extensions, Class Q Dwellings, Solar Panels, Agricultural Buildings, and Demolition Work. Our expertise ensures that your application meets all requirements, improving the likelihood of approval and helping your project move forward smoothly and successfully.

As part of our service, we can advise on the Permitted Development (PD) rights available to your property. This is especially useful for homeowners who are looking at Home Extensions, Outbuildings, Porches, and Conservatories. Our expert guidance ensures your project complies with the PD regulations, allowing it to proceed efficiently.

We understand the importance of your development being well received locally. Therefore, by working with relevant stakeholders and local communities, we offer various public consultation methods to present your proposal in the best light. Our expertise ensures effective communication and positive engagement, helping to gain local support for your development.
