Planning and Design Services
Take a look at our planning and design services:
Political Engagement
Policy and politics are at the heart of every planning decision. Our engagement strategies with stakeholders, including key decision makers, are informed by expert political and regulatory analysis.
This supports our planning expertise to deliver constructive and successful consultation to achieve results.
Local Authority Consultancy Support
Local Authority consultancy support can be provided as our team has extensive hands-on experience within development management departments in Local Authorities.
Bradley Hall’s planning team can assist Local Authorities that do not have the in-house capacity to meet their service demands on a short or long term basis, and draw on experience to provide Local Authorities with immediate development management support and can lead the handling of all planning application types.
Planning Appeals
Planning Appeals can be progressed if you disagree with the decision of a Local Planning Authority to refuse planning permission, or if an application has been approved with conditions that you feel may be unreasonable and unrealistic.
Bradley Hall’s planning team has the experience and the capabilities to take on all forms of planning appeals, including appeals against non-determination where a Local Authority has failed to determine an application within statutory time limits, with a proven track record of success in having planning decisions reversed.
Pre-Application Enquiries
Can be submitted to Local Planning Authorities outlining initial proposed development ideas to gain an understanding of the likelihood of successfully securing planning consent ahead of the formal application stage.
This allows the opportunity to recognise any amends that may be required to give the scheme the best chance of being granted permission.
Initial Development Appraisals
Involve an initial desk based review and discussions in relation to a new development proposal at an early stage to identify any potential site constraints and the likely planning issues that could arise.
This includes advice on the likelihood of a scheme being viewed favourably by a Local Planning Authority so far as can be assessed at the scheme inception stage.
Strategic Land Promotion
Which includes identifying areas of land that are potentially suitable for deliverable residential and commercial development in the future.
The process involves securing strategic site allocations in new Local Authority development plans before gaining the appropriate planning permissions for the landowner in order to market a site to its full potential.
