• Preparation of appeal documents and where necessary appearing at Informal Hearings and Public Inquiries acting as Expert Witness;
• Advice on Permitted Development and preparation of Prior Notifications;
• Negotiations with Councils on content of planning obligations (Section 106's);
• Submission of further details required by planning conditions;
• Enforcement notices and appeals;
• Lawful Development Certificates - existing and proposed;
• Planning Appraisal and Feasibility;
• Local Plan site Promotion and Representations, through initial stages to Independent Examination; and
• General development advice and strategy in relation to land and property assets.

We offer sound, practical and honest advice to all developers both large and small, property and land owners as well as individuals. We look further than the Town Planning process to promote your long term objectives in a pragmatic and cost effective way.

Through a network of tried and tested contacts we are also able to act as project managers where other consultants such as ecologists, landscape architects, archaeologists, engineers etc are required to support proposals.

Whilst based in Shropshire we have considerable experience of working across the whole of the UK.
