Desktop Appraisals:
A Desktop Appraisal is a quick and cost-effective way to gain an initial understanding of the planning potential of a site. It is a written assessment of a site’s planning history, current policies and potential future planning prospects. It provides a summary of what types of development may or may not be feasible, including the chances of gaining planning permission.
This information is essential for property developers, investors, and those looking to buy or sell a property.
Pre-Application Enquiries:
Pre-Application Enquiries are an important part of the planning process and are used to establish if a proposed development is likely to gain planning permission. This stage of the process enables applicants to receive informal feedback from the local planning authority before submitting a formal application.
This can help to save time, money and resources as it allows for changes to be made to the proposal in light of the feedback received before submitting a formal application.
New Build Houses:
New Build Houses are a popular form of residential development in the UK, and gaining planning permission for new build houses is essential to ensure that the development meets the necessary planning criteria. There are various factors to consider when making a planning application for new build houses, such as location, design, access, and impact on surrounding properties.
A well-designed and carefully thought-out proposal will increase the chances of gaining planning permission. An experienced planning consultant can provide essential advice and guidance to ensure that the proposal meets the necessary criteria and is therefore more likely to be successful.
