PFK Planning

And now for something completely different

PFK Planning and Development forms part of PFK plc., a long established company providing a wide range of professional multi-disciplinary land and property services to a wide ranging client base across the North of England and the South of Scotland.

With a wealth of experience working with both public and private sector clients within Cumbria and the rest of the UK, PFK have a comprehensive understanding of planning policies at a local and national level so we are perfectly placed to advise you.

We frequently work with prospective developers to advise them on their planning needs, and our qualified Chartered Planners can advise you too.

The majority of our cases relate to rural based schemes, however we are happy to help with all aspects of planning applications and advice, including:

· Pre Application Advice;

· Agricultural Workers Dwellings;

· New Houses;

· Extensions to houses;

· Submission of Land for Allocation by Local Authorities;

· Screening Opinions;

· Appeals (Written Representations, Informal Hearings and Public Inquiries);

· Heritage Statements;

· Affordable Housing;

· Lawful Development Certificates; and

· Enforcement

The rules and regulations surrounding planning applications can be extremely complicated. That’s where PFK can help.

Examples of recent projects include agricultural diversification schemes, individual dwellings, residential developments, commercial and industrial developments, leisure and tourism schemes and lawful use applications.
