Site Appraisals

We advise on the development potential of land and buildings. This may involve a brief desktop review, or a detailed site appraisal incorporating discussions with the Local Planning Authority. 

Each appraisal is customised to the client's particular needs.

Local Plans and Strategic Land Promotion

We have a proven track record of promoting land through Local Plans, securing small scale and strategic allocations, including Green Belt release. 

​

We can advise on the approach to take to promoting your land.

We frequently submit Local Plan representations and appear at Local Plan Examinations.

Planning Applications

We will lead you through the planing application process. We can coordinate the pre-application and application submissions, provide accompanying documentation including Planning and Design and Access Statements and act as a Project Manager throughout the various stages of a planning application. 

​

We also provide stand alone submissions to accompany planning applications prepared by others.

Land and Development Opportunities

We have a number of clients who are looking for new land opportunities. We have experience of introducing land owners to Land Promoters and Developers. We also carry out site and land searches for our clients.

Planning Appeals

We have experience of appearing as an Expert Witness at Public Inquiries, Hearings and dealing with Written Representations appeals. 

​

We regularly undertake appeal work and also provide strategy advice in respect of which appeal route to choose. 

Public Consultation and Community Engagement

We provide a full public consultation and community engagement service. This includes identifying key people and organisations to target; preparing and advising on an engagement strategy; and implementing the strategy.

​

With our local experience we have strong relationships with a number of Senior Local Authority Officers, District Councillors, and Town and Parish Councils.
