The planning team has an unrivalled reputation in the Midlands market due in part to our wider multi-disciplinary planning offering in the form of an additional 36 planning and heritage consultants and architects (Marrons).

What sets us apart is our strength in depth and our ability to provide a one-stop shop for our clients’ needs, from taking a development site through the allocations process, to negotiating what are often complex planning obligations. Our advice is pragmatic and commercial, and we pride ourselves on being seen as our client’s trusted advisors – we are an integral part of the client’s consultant team. We also provide expert advice on matters including potential enforcement action, compulsory purchase orders, development consent orders and all highways matters.

We have a market-leading contentious practice and this really sets us apart from other firms - Simon Stanion has a very highly regarding planning litigation practice.
