Planning

We can take your initial brief and assess the options to deliver the strategy most suited to your needs and budget 


We combine commercial realities with logic and creativity, but never lose sight of the big picture


Pre-Application Enquiries


Entering into an early dialogue with the planning authority will quickly establish the parameters and viability of your project from the outset and ensure we employ the right approach moving forwards.


We work with clients and developers to quickly turn around feasibility studies when the land sale process requires prompt and accurate responses to identify a site’s essential development potential and, ultimately, its market value.


This is an invaluable service which gives our commercial clients a competitive edge.
