With each key senior staff having between 16 and 21 years’ experience, we are confident of providing a level of service that is second to none in the industry, from feasibility stages, right through to planning application submissions and, where circumstances dictate, provide expert witness representation at planning court / tribunal hearings.

We carry £5 million of professional indemnity cover for any one claim – which meets or exceeds typical requirements for government work.
