•  Visiting the site and assessing its characteristics,     topography, accessibility and proximity to other     developments

•  Investigating the planning policies which apply to
    its development

•  Meeting with officers from the relevant planning     authority and where appropriate, officers     representing highways, historic buildings
    and/or archaeology and other specialist staff

•  Discussing emerging issues with, where relevant,     English Heritage, English Nature, amenity societies,     Local Strategic Partnerships and Parish Councils

•  Analysing the information we have assembled

•  Preparing a detailed but easy to understand     appraisal of the development potential now and in     the future, taking into account both local and national     policy direction

Once this process is completed we can assist you with:

•  Submitting the appropriate planning application on     your behalf and presenting a case to the planning     authority

•  Presenting a case to the planning authority for the     inclusion of the site in future land allocations
