Planning legislation states that applications for planning permission should be determined in accordance with a Council’s local plan policies (the development plan) unless there are planning considerations that indicate otherwise.

Janet, Diccon and Matt have an in-depth knowledge of Council policy in the South West and will be aware of relevant planning considerations that can give the best possible chance of securing planning permission. We can:

  • Advise on the likelihood of planning permission being granted;

  • Identify areas where planning reasons may warrant the grant of planning permission contrary to local policies;

  • Liaise with council planners and agencies throughout the planning application process to address any issues raised;

  • Present applications at Committee, if required.

We have built a strong reputation for securing planning permission for a wide range of development projects. Recent successes include permission for:

  • A contentious development of 28 houses on the edge of a market town;

  • A glamping site in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty;

  • The conversion of a barn to a dwelling in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and an area at risk of flooding (Flood Zone 3);

  • 14 houses including 5 starter homes outside a village settlement boundary.
