We offer the services of Chartered Town Planners and Architectural Consultants. The Managing Director David Stovell has forty years of planning experience.

How Important Is A Successful Planning Decision To You?
One of the most common reasons for failure to gain planning permission is a lack of understanding of planning legislation and procedures. The Town and Country Planning system which regulates what can happen and where, is becoming increasingly complex, even for the smallest proposal.

What Are The Costs?
The cost of not gaining planning permission can be considerable when viewed in terms of inability to fulfil goals. Your costs in terms of time, effort and manpower in pursuing 'hopeless' cases, negotiations with authorities and form filling can soon mount.

Why Use Us?
As a specialist planning practice we have an intimate knowledge of the planning system and how it operates at both local and national levels.

This enables us to guide and present your ideas and proposals to greater effect in order to help you achieve desired goals in the most cost effective manner.

In short, we are able to steer clients through a maze of planning legislation and constraints that need to be negotiated with almost every present day proposal.
