ASP

And now for something completely different

Our approach

We believe that the aim of a planning consultancy should be to secure the best and most appropriate development that meets the requirements of the client in a way that suitably respects the natural and technical constraints of the site and takes reasonable account of the views and opinions of others. We consider that the way to achieve this is through negotiation and consensus, not through confrontation. The aim of ASP is to secure the best solution in every case and to provide the highest level of service to achieve this aim.

Our services

ASP is a well established consultancy with a very wide range of clients in both the public and private sectors throughout south and east England and beyond. Our consultants are able to provide advice with a broad spectrum of experience. We deal with all aspects of planning, including participation at development plan Examinations, a full range of planning applications for residential, employment, retail and other development, planning appeals, enforcement and related matters, development appraisals and the preparation of design briefs. We act for landowners and developers, public and private clients and local authorities.
