Planning & strategy
Review of planning conditions, coordination of the required evidence and management of discharge submissions and council responses.
After permission is granted, conditions may require information at particular stages of development. Reviewing them early helps you understand which reports, samples or details need to be prepared and which activities depend on a council decision.
We review the wording of the conditions and approved documents, identify the evidence needed and agree who will prepare it. We coordinate the discharge package and manage submission and council responses within scope. New specialist reports and revisions are identified before they are commissioned.
You receive the agreed submissions and a record of the council’s decisions. Submitting information is distinct from securing written approval, and ongoing compliance obligations should remain visible to the project team.
Decision notice, approved plans and the conditions you need to address.
We review the site, proposal and planning stage to agree the appropriate scope. Specialist surveys and assessments are coordinated where needed.

The price shown is a starting estimate for the stated scope. We review the site, proposal, available information and required deliverables, then confirm the fee, exclusions and programme in a written quotation before appointment.
We bring the relevant planning consultants and specialist providers into a coordinated project team. They work from an agreed brief and current proposal, with dependencies and design changes discussed across disciplines. Each consultant remains responsible for their own professional advice and agreed deliverables.
PART OF A COORDINATED APPOINTMENT
This service can form part of a wider coordinated planning appointment. We bring the relevant consultants together to work alongside your design team, discuss assessment findings and identify how recommendations affect other reports and the proposal.
Your fee proposal confirms who prepares each document, the information it relies on and the limits of the instruction. A report provides evidence for the council’s assessment; the planning decision remains the council’s. Explore how our consultants work together or discuss the team your project needs.
