Planning Branch is an established and growing local planning and tree consultancy who pride themselves on an honest and comprehensive approach to planning, producing high quality work and achieving the best results for their clients, whatever their needs.
We are based in Penrith, and work all over Cumbria, Lancashire, Yorkshire and the North East.
As a small consultancy we have developed a wide range of specialism’s and abilities. We also have a comprehensive list of professional consultants to provide the services we cannot provide ourselves, including Architects, Ecologists, Surveyors and Highways Engineers.
Planning Branch draws on the considerable expertise of their professional staff who have both worked in Local Planning Authorities in Cumbria and Durham, working up to Manager of Development Control and Senior Planner Levels. Between them they have over 26 years experience working in and with Local Planning Authorities. This has resulted in excellent working relationships with the Local Authorities, and working knowledge of the local policies and interpretation.
Our aim is simple; to be honest in our advice, to be approachable, and to achieve a high standard of work with results that are in our Clients best interests. This ensures a high level of repeat business and recommendations.
We have a qualified Arboriculturist on staff, and are also qualified to carry out Agricultural Appraisals.
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:
Recent projects include: a large mixed use scheme of 46 houses, hotel and business units in the Lake District National Park, new agricultural workers dwellings, redevelopment of houses, agricultural buildings, barn conversions for dwellings and holiday lets, screening opinions for Wind Farms, and community based redevelopment scheme in a Conservation Area.
