Plan-A offers a range of services including:-

Site Appraisal

An objective site appraisal and assessment is a key stage in the planning process. Plan-A can provide anything from a straightforward assessment of a site’s development potential and likely success in achieving planning consent to a more in-depth analysis aimed at establishing the most appropriate form of development to take forward.

Site Identification and Promotion

Plan-A can undertake searches and studies aimed at identifying and investigating development opportunities within specified areas. In the context of a 'plan-led' system, the effective promotion of identified opportunities is often critical in achieving their allocation and subsequent development. Plan-A can help to guide and promote proposals through the plan-making process or seek to influence policy content.

Applications

Plan-A can undertake all pre-applications discussions and negotiations with local planning authorities prior to preparing and submitting planning applications. For large or more complex proposals, we can also lead and co-ordinate the input of other specialist consultants.

Appeals

Plan-A can handle all forms of planning appeal whether dealt with by written representation, hearing or public inquiry. Plan-A can also offer direct access to the Planning Bar, instructing barristers in the main London or provincial chambers.

General Planning Advice

Plan-A can also help in providing advice on other planning issues such as the need for planning permission, enforcement matters or third party representations including the submission of objections to proposed development.
