Development + Planning

We offer expert assistance to developers or potential developers. These services include,

Funding Packages

Working with banks, bridging companies and brokers that we are acquainted with, we may be able to help raise finance for developments. Because of our experience as designers and builders we are able to make realistic assumptions about costs, feasibility, planning issues and programme.

We then help our clients to present funding opportunities in a user friendly way that does not require large amounts of deciphering, or which is still conceived. This can greatly improve the chances of success.

 

Town Planning Services

We offer a comprehensive range of town planning services from concept design through to post completion stage. The services are provided by an experienced former Local Authority planning officer and include

 

- Planning, Conservation Area and Advertising applications.

- Pre development advice and policy reviews.

- Maximising development potential.

- Planning appeals, enquiries and hearings.

- Section 106 negotiations.

- Design and Access Statements.

- Specialist planning reports.

 

Adding Value

We often work with clients who have already received planning approval for a development but believe they can obtain permission for more. In such instances we will make new or varied planning submissions aimed at increasing the potential floor space / value of a particular development.

Planning Negotiations

In many cases the policy issues relating to a site may be complex, or sensitive financial negotiations may be required with Local Authorities to make a scheme affordable. In such instances we help our clients with policy analysis and accompany them during discussions with Councils.
