How we can assist
Countryside development requires careful assessment against the adopted local development plan, the Strategic Planning Policy Statement and any relevant transitional retained policies. A site-specific appraisal considers settlement pattern, integration, landscape, access, environmental constraints and the evidence needed to support the proposed policy route.
Our consultancy scope
- Dwellings on farms
- Infill and gap sites
- Rural clusters
- Countryside integration
- Exceptional circumstances
How a project progresses
We begin with your objectives and site details, examine the relevant planning history and policy framework, identify constraints and discuss an appropriate scope of professional services. Where instructed, we coordinate the submission and provide updates as the application progresses.
What information should you provide?
- Site address or location map
- Details of existing buildings and lawful use
- Any previous planning reference numbers
- Sketches, drawings or photographs where available
- Your proposed use, scale and timescale
Important planning considerations
Requirements depend on the planning authority, the adopted development plan and any other material considerations. Technical reports and statutory application fees are separate unless expressly included in a written quotation. Planning approval is not guaranteed.
