Planning: There’s knowledge. And there’s practical knowledge

Dealing with planning can seem like aiming at a moving target. Any development may have many interested parties – councils, shopkeepers, landowners, schools – that need to be collaborated with. In addition, of course, to all the many and varied planning regulations.

Knowing what’s relevant, who has most influence and how best to manage the situation comes naturally to our team. We’re used to dealing with all types of planning agreements, highway agreements, compulsory purchase orders and other contentious and non-contentious matters. They frequently take time, and definitely require patience and determination. Qualities we regularly put to good use, as our many satisfied clients will confirm.
