This is a process of engaging with the local planning authority before submitting a formal planning application. This often provides a good opportunity to understand the potential issues with any proposed development and the likelihood of success.

PLANNING APPLICATIONS

PLANNING APPLICATIONS

We prepare and submit the appropriate type of planning application to suit the development. It may be an outline application to establish the principle of the development or a full application with all the details necessary to allow the project to be delivered.

We work with an established network of consultants including architects, highway engineers, drainage engineers, ecologists and other professionals to make sure that, where necessary, applications are accompanied by all of the correct information to provide the best chance of a successful submission.
