Not all developments, particularly large scale proposals, will get planning permission immediately.

There is sometimes a need to develop a medium to long term strategy. Development plans must be reviewed regularly by Local Authorities in consultation with the public. This provides an opportunity to seek an allocation for development within the Local Plan and to manipulate, change and introduce policies that will assist in achieving planning permission in future.

Our Town Planning team has considerable expertise in promoting developments and influencing policy change through the Development Plan process. We also have the skills to master plan large sites which can assist in persuading the Local Authority to accept a particular development opportunity. Please contact John Ashton, MRTPI for more information.
