Schemes from £3M to £150M GDV

We take development schemes of this size through planning, and can build them after.

Our planning consultancy

Our Head of Design and Planning, Rafael Porzycki, brings 15 years to each scheme, alongside our construction team.

  • Strategy before paperwork

    We read the local plan and precedents and shape the scheme around what officers can approve.

  • Pre-application advice

    Where it earns its cost, we seek the council's early steer before drawing for submission.

  • Drawings and documents

    Drawings, planning statement and supporting reports in one clean submission.

  • Managed to decision

    Consultee responses answered, amendments negotiated, momentum kept.

  • Conditions

    Pre-commencement conditions discharged so the build can start.

  • Refusals and appeals

    Reasons reviewed, scheme amended and resubmitted, or appeal advice.

How we take a scheme through planning

We review planning history, constraints and the likely route for your address.

Policy, precedent and design settled, with pre-application advice where useful.

Drawings and reports prepared and submitted as one coordinated package.

We manage the application with officers until a decision.

Conditions discharged, technical design and, if you want, construction under one contract.

Planning permission: questions

How long does planning permission take in London?

Councils aim to decide minor applications in 8 weeks and major ones in 13 weeks from validation. Survey and preparation time come before that; we map the whole path with dates at the start.

How much does planning permission cost?

The council's application fee plus professional fees for drawings, reports and management, quoted as one fixed figure after the free site appraisal.

Do I need pre-application advice?

Not always, but on anything beyond the routine it usually pays for itself: an early steer shapes a scheme that gets approved rather than argued about. More in pre-application planning advice in London.

Can I avoid full planning permission?
What happens after consent?

Conditions are discharged and the scheme moves to technical design. We can build it, or you can talk to us about selling with planning.
