Taking the stress out of planning applications
Whether your project needs full planning permission, a Lawful Development Certificate under permitted development, or it falls into a conservation area or listed building, we can guide you through the process clearly and professionally.
We prepare and manage planning applications that are realistic, well-presented, and carefully thought through, giving you the best chance of approval first time.
What do our planning services include?
- Planning advice and feasibility guidance
- Preparation of full application drawings
- Planning statements (when required)

- Handling revisions, responses and conditions
- Support with permitted development and lawful development certificates.
If your project is more complex, we also coordinate:
- Heritage statements
- Specialist reports (trees, drainage, ecology etc.)
- Conservation area and listed building applications.

Not every project needs full planning permission. In some cases, you can build under permitted development rights, which can save time and reduce the risk of objections.
Whilst we can’t guarantee that planning permission will be granted, we’ll advise you on the best route for your project based on your goals, location and property type. If permitted development applies, we’ll secure a Lawful Development Certificate, giving you written confirmation from the council that your plans are legal.
