Savills (UK) Ltd

And now for something completely different

Savills

Savills Planning has been ranked the largest planning consultancy team in the UK according to Planning Magazine's Consultancy Survey for 7 consecutive years. Our project range is diverse, extending across a wide range of private and public sector clients.

Our skills lie in shaping and influencing policy and decision makers to deliver realistic and viable proposals in planning, commercial and environmental terms. Central to this approach is ensuring that consultancy advice is geared to commercial outcomes – we achieve results that meet our clients’ objectives. This entails careful analysis and detailed knowledge of legislation, policy and procedure, allied with a clear understanding of environmental, sustainability and design issues.

Just as important is our local knowledge and familiarity with the concerns, priorities and approach of local authorities and community stakeholders which is achieved through our national network of professionals and individual contacts. Supported by our specialist teams, we understand the impact that increasing planning obligation requirements play in the negotiation process.

We are experienced in handling all aspects of the planning process including appeals and securing approval within timescales to meet client needs, reducing risks and enhancing rewards.

Specialist activities include:

• Applications and Appeals
• Compulsory Purchase and Compensation
• Economics
• Expert Witness
• Regeneration and Urban Design
• Legal Agreements and Infrastructure Payments
• Stakeholder Engagement
• Sustainability and Environmental considerations
• Energy Planning
• Heritage Planning
• Planning Policy at National, Local or Neighbourhood level.

Principal work areas include housing, commercial and mixed use schemes, award winning sports stadia, retail, renewable energy, water industry, environmental assessment, education and healthcare, retirement living, urban and graphic design.
