Our residential planning process: from pre-application to appeal
Our residential planning consultants provide end-to-end support across the full planning process. This includes site appraisals, pre-application consultations, public consultations, and the preparation of planning applications and supporting documents. We also manage the discharge of planning conditions, represent clients in planning appeals and act as expert witnesses where required. As part of our planning consultancy services, we assess housing land supply and promote sites for residential development through the local plan process – guiding clients all the way through to the Examination stage.
Specialist advice for residential planning applications
Pre-application consultation plays a key role in identifying potential planning issues early in the process. Each residential development site presents unique considerations – from boundary constraints and housing land supply to affordable housing requirements and brownfield redevelopment. We provide tailored planning policy guidance to ensure these challenges are addressed effectively from the outset.
Our team has extensive experience managing residential planning applications, including consultation and negotiation with Council officers and other statutory consultees. Once permission is granted, we continue to support clients by managing the discharge of planning conditions to ensure development can progress without delay.
We’ve supported a wide range of housing development planning projects, from conversions and HMOs to permitted development opportunities, heritage schemes and affordable housing proposals. Our consultants offer practical, informed planning permission advice at every stage.
