Planning Consultancy

When you’re not ready to make a planning application, but want to know if your development idea stands a chance of a planning approval, Mason and Marlowe offers immediate planning consultancy solutions critical to successful planning approval. Our team are experts in planning regulations, planning policies, including various supplementary planning documents of councils. We have helped many home owners and developers secure planning permission even on tricky site.

We offer advice on your proposals before you submit a planning application.

This is useful to:

  • establish whether the principle of development is likely to be supported by the council
  • ensure the proposal is delivering high-quality development in the area
  • save time and cost by giving you a pathway to a successful application before the application is submitted to the council

We will provide you with a written response covering:

  • the planning history of the site, together with some analysis of this where relevant
  • details of any statutory designations applying to the site, such as conservation areas, listed buildings, protected trees and sites of special scientific interest
  • the text of relevant planning policies applying to the site, together with other planning and technical requirements such as space standards or relevant sections of any supplementary planning documents
  • site limitations with regards to the proposed development and planning policies
  • advice on solutions to the site limitations and providing the best route to achieving a successful application
  • advice on the designs and supporting information necessary to obtain planning permission
  • advice on the procedure, consultation arrangements and estimated timescale for processing the application
  • we would let you know if the proposal is likely to unsuccessful and would not be supported by the council in its current form, some advice will be provided as to how it could be made acceptable, where possible
  • advice on any potential planning obligation (S106) and non-standard conditions, together with advice on minimising conditions

The quality and certainty of the advice that we can provide is dependent on the quality and accuracy of the information you provide and we will base our advice on the information that you provide us with.

  • as much detail on the proposed use/development (including changes of use)
  • whether there are particular issues that you would like the response to focus on
