PLANNING CONSULTANT SERVICES


We offer planning consultation for an array of matters throughout Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and the South West including residential, commercial and industrial projects. Please feel free to browse through our services below and see if you think we can help you. 

Residential Planning

Being experienced and trusted in residential planning consultant work we are able to provide consultancy in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and the South West. Residential planning can include projects such as those listed below:
  • New house builds
  • House extensions
  • Conversion of existing buildings, houses or apartments
  • Replacement of existing buildings

It doesn’t matter where your residential development might be as we are able to work across a wide range of diverse locations from town centres, urban areas, conservation areas, listed buildings, rural or prominent coastal locations. It is appreciated that each scheme is unique and this is how we always approach each project, being attentive to your requirements and meticulous in the preparation of any supporting plans and documents.

Each development project is centred on a clear understanding of the physical constraints and planning policy that affect your site and will be developed, with you, to accord with your requirements.

Having worked in the public, private and third sectors gives us a unique perspective on many varied developments and ultimately informs us how we might help you to achieve your development project requirements.
Commercial Planning

Commercial planning consultant work can vary enormously and we have experience in dealing with a number of commercial developments. Commercial developments include, but are not limited to, uses such as:
  • Retail shops
  • Office uses
  • Farm diversification schemes


Each situation has its own unique business demands and site sensitivities that need to be understood and carefully considered to be able to make a development project successful. In most cases it is essential for us to fully understand the context that your project will sit within so that we can work positively with you and help inform any potential decision being made.
Industrial Planning

The erection, extension or alteration of industrial buildings or warehouses can be considered as permitted development (not requiring an application for planning permission) in certain circumstances. Where the proposal is outside of the established limits and conditions then planning permission will be required. 
Industrial developments can include, but are not limited to, uses such as:
  • Light and general industrial activities
  • Car & motorcycle showrooms
  • Storage and distribution
  • Warehouses



The planning of most types of industrial developments tend to be away from sensitive areas and town centres but this is not always the case for existing sites. Whatever the case, we can help to develop a successful project proposal for your business.
Other Consultations

Of course there are many other situations that do not fall neatly into these categories such as non-residential uses and other uses that do not fall into any specific class (called Sui Generis).

These types of development projects can include projects such as those listed below:
  • Theatres
  • Hostels
  • Petrol filling stations
  • Nightclubs
  • Launderettes
  • Amusement centres and casinos
  • Any many more
