These Local Development Frameworks are used to define both general planning policies and specific land use allocations.

Some policies are unchanged under the new planning regime which paradoxically makes the situation even more complex. The consultancy is experienced in the processes involved and will navigate the system on your behalf.

Many local planning authorities now produce Supplementary Planning Guidance on a range of different topics from design of shop facades, to the management of housing supply. We can interpret this supplementary advice for you.

Some authorities go beyond the parameters which national planning legislation and advice has identified or fail to consult adequately on the supplementary guidance. We understand these guidelines and procedures and can challenge unreasonable decision making.
