Chris Tivey Associates Ltd

And now for something completely different

Chris Tivey Associates is an independent Planning Consultancy established in 2006, providing services on a broad range of development proposals, within the private, public and social/charitable sectors.

We are based within Somerset and cover a wide geographical area, from the South West across to London and the South East, and up to East Anglia and the Midlands. The vast majority of the work that we win is by word of mouth and positive recommendations. We aim to provide a pragmatic and cost effective approach to all commissions, and take pride in offering honest advice which is based on a sound understanding of Planning legislation and policy, in addition to plain common sense.
