We specialise in design-led and sustainable buildings. We can appraise and secure planning permission for new-build, conversions and changes of use for residential and commercial schemes. We will advise of your options for using a wide range of Permitted Development Rights (including Prior Approval), as well as planning applications and lawful development certificates. For householders, we can provide initial advice about the scope to extend or alter your home, through to a fully managed planning application. 

We can also explain your options for a wide range of ‘permitted development rights’ available to you without the need for a planning application and can advise on the pros and cons of using these compared with a standard householder planning application.

Contact us to discuss your specific requirements. Our focus is generally on the following development types:

• New buildings

• Housing

• Residential change of use (inc. Prior approval / PDR)

• Protected landscapes (South Downs National Park and AONBs)

• Conversions / Changes of use

• Commercial / Industrial

• Permitted development

• Tourism uses (including camp sites and holiday lets)

• “Class Q” agricultural barn conversions

We aim to build long-term working relationships with regular and loyal clients. We work closely with council officers to ensure timely and successful planning submissions.

Our objective is always to deliver a high-quality proposal that balances the best chance of securing planning permission, with the maximum return for the clients.
