Planning

Planning with clarity & commercial focus.

Planning is more than just a step in the process, it’s the key to unlocking a site’s value. Done right, it keeps your project moving and profitable. Done wrong, even a great design can stall.

We focus on more than just meeting policy. We know when to push, when to hold back, and how to position your scheme so it succeeds commercially and practically.

If you’re developing a portfolio, maximising a site, or planning your next move, you need a planning partner who’s strategic, efficient, and gets results without delays. That’s where we come in.

Our commercial planning approach reduces risk, navigates regulatory challenges, and maximises the potential of underused or difficult sites—transforming them into functional, high-performing developments built to last.

Planning for growth

Focused planning for commercial projects.

Every commercial project has its own planning hurdles—tight sites, change of use, challenging neighbours, or slow local authorities. Success means having a clear plan that keeps the big picture in view while managing the details.

Our services include:

Pre-application advice and strategy
Full planning applications
Lawful development certificates (LDCs)
Prior approvals and change of use
Support with appeals or resubmissions
Planning and design & access statements

Speed through planning is crucial to your success

Why our approach works.

Planning doesn’t have to be slow or complicated. We streamline the process, reduce uncertainty, and focus on what drives your project forward.

You won’t get vague reports or generic advice—just clear strategies, realistic options, and a team that understands the practical and political sides of planning.

We focus on:

Making decisions straightforward
Clearing the way through planning requirements
Supporting your wider commercial strategy, not just one application

The goal? Permissions that come through smoothly, quickly, and with the strongest possible case.

Our planning process

We keep things simple, direct, and geared around your goals.

Understand the site

We start with a call or site review to understand what you’re trying to achieve, any planning history, and the challenges that might lie ahead.

Shape the strategy

We develop a clear, realistic route through — whether that’s full planning, prior approval, or another route. If pre-app makes sense, we’ll say so. If it doesn’t, we won’t waste your time.

Build the case

Drawings, statements, planning rationale — all prepared to give your scheme the best shot at approval. Clear, aligned with policy, and backed by sound reasoning.

Navigate the process

Once submitted, we manage the dialogue with the local authority, handle any issues that arise, and keep things moving towards a decision.

Planning with purpose

Planning that moves things forward with intent.

We don’t do planning for planning’s sake. Every decision we make aims to reduce risk, unlock value, and give your application the best chance to succeed.

You’re here to deliver projects that stack up commercially and keep your portfolio moving forward. We keep the process clear, focused, and progressing. Whether it’s a new build, a conversion, or a change of use, we guide your planning with pace and purpose.

It’s not about complicating things—it’s about aligning your strategy with what’s achievable. We help you make planning decisions that support your goals, avoid delays, and keep your project moving.
