Our Services
Strategic and tactical planning advice
Development potential appraisals (whether that be virgin sites, or a site you are acquiring that has an allocation or planning permission already on it), pre-application advice and submissions, discharge of conditions or amendments.
Preparation and submission of planning applications of all types and sizes
From minor and householder applications to major development proposals. Over the years my specialisms have predominated on rural development, commercial and renewables. We have an established network of specialist consultants (ecology, flood, highways etc.) that we can call on to provide cost effective reports and surveys to support your planning application.
Lawful development certificates
For both existing and proposed land/building uses and developments.
Prior approval applications for permitted developments
eg, Class Q barn conversions (as part of a wider masterplan) are a particular penchant of ours.
Planning appeals (written reps, hearings and inquiries)
Being MRTPI chartered Steven can be a planning expert witness and can engage planning barristers for you without having to go through a planning solicitor, potentially savings costs.
Local plan and/or neighbourhood plan site submissions and representations
Environmental impact assessment
Being MRTPI Steven can fulfil the technical role of the ‘competent person’.
