Open Planning provides town planning consultancy services to a range of developers, landowners, investors, and public sector organisations.

Our aim at Open Planning is to ensure that property assets are enhanced or at the very least protected and that opportunities to achieve this via the planning system are optimised.

Our approach is predicated on:

  • the experience, commitment and skills of our planning professionals
  • adopting clear planning strategies to optimise outcomes for clients, which are not always based on the most obvious or direct route; and
  • sound and rigorous planning intelligence about a property or site and the local authority in whose area the site is located.

Our team of experienced professionals has advised on residential, commercial, retail, education, health, leisure, sport and recreation and infrastructure projects across the UK.

The planning consultancy services we provide include:

  • Initial planning appraisals and strategy advice;
  • Advice on planning law and procedure;
  • Submitting planning applications including pre-application consultations, collation of technical inputs and management of the application process through to determination;
  • Undertaking planning appeals via written representations, informal hearing and public inquiry;
  • Monitoring and preparing representations for Local Development Frameworks;
  • Preparing development and design briefs;
  • Listed Building and Conservation Area advice;
  • Co-ordination of Environmental Impact Assessments;
  • Enforcement cases;
  • Certificates of Lawfulness
  • Public consultation and community involvement;
  • Planning policy and practice research.

Our planning consultancy services can also be combined with the architecture and design expertise of Open Architecture, to provide an integrated approach to new development.
