Savills Planning and Regeneration is one of the largest planning consultancy teams in the UK. Our project range is diverse, extending across a wide range of private and public sector clients, including numerous high profile projects for blue chip organisations.
Our skills lie in shaping and influencing policy and decision makers to deliver realistic and viable proposals in planning, commercial and environmental terms. Central to this approach is ensuring that consultancy advice is geared to commercial outcomes – we achieve results that meet our clients’ objectives. This entails careful analysis and detailed knowledge of legislation, policy and procedure, allied with a clear understanding of environmental, sustainability and design issues.
Just as important is our local knowledge and familiarity with the concerns, priorities and approach of local authorities and community stakeholders which is achieved through our national network of professionals and individual contacts. Supported by our specialist teams, we understand the impact that increasing planning obligation requirements play in the negotiation process.
We are experienced in handling all aspects of the planning process including appeals and securing approval within timescales to meet client needs, reducing risks and enhancing rewards.
Our core strengths include:
Shaping policies and influencing decision makers to successfully promote development schemes at the strategic and planning application stages;
Preparing strategy documents and feasibility studies;
Project managing the planning process, addressing the environment, design, transport, economic and social, retail/leisure and commercial issues;
Negotiating S106 Agreements and Conditions; and
Masterplanning of major development sites, urban design, development briefs and environmental impact assessment.

The energy efficiency and sustainability agenda – working with the rapidly evolving agenda to provide up to date planning advice across all sectors including residential, commercial, retail, energy, utilities, healthcare, education and airports;
