We have entered a new era of development management in which policy compliance, environmental assessment and community engagement will be the key elements.

Recent and proposed changes to the planning system are designed to improve the system by speeding up decision making – but not at the expense of policy, the environment and the local community.

Our multi-disciplinary team has the necessary skills and experience as well as the right approach to help you manage the planning process. We can provide a comprehensive service advising on policy, commercial planning strategy, community engagement, process agreements, neighbour notification audits, planning agreements, good neighbour agreements, conditions, planning risk, enforcement, appeals and judicial review.

We advise national retailers, housebuilders, commercial developers and planning authorities.
