Town Planning Consultant

Dorset

Experienced Planning Consultancy

An experienced Chartered Town Planning Consultant (MRTPI) with over 30 years’ experience in the planning profession, specialising in negotiating and securing high-quality development outcomes.

Approachable, knowledgeable and commercially minded, we bring a wealth of practical, ‘real-world’ experience to every project. Our extensive understanding of the planning system enables us to provide clear, pragmatic advice and develop effective planning strategies tailored to each client and their individual circumstances.

We have particular expertise in bringing forward design-led development in sensitive locations, including rural areas, Green Belt, Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings. Our experience covers a wide range of development proposals, including barn conversions, new-build homes, replacement dwellings, plot severance, extensions and works undertaken under permitted development rights.

Having worked extensively with Local Planning Authorities, we understand how planning decisions are approached in practice. We use this experience to identify potential opportunities and constraints at an early stage, helping to minimise risk and maximise the prospects of achieving a successful planning outcome.

We provide clear, straightforward fee proposals and competitive pricing, working closely with architects, designers and other professional consultants where required to develop well-considered proposals and secure planning approvals.
