PLANNING - HOW IT WORKS

CPC has an established reputation for providing imaginative, practical and independent advice to its Clients, from concept through to construction. We believe planning should be simple and have identified four key stages to success:

Appraise    Design     Negotiate     Realise




APPRAISE

Our team of planners will scrutinise the spatial, economic, environmental and social constraints and opportunities present at the site. Through visiting the site and investigating the relevant planning institutions and their policies CPC can build a fuller picture of what form of development is both appropriate and achievable.


DESIGN

CPC’s team of professionals including architects, transport planners and flood consultants can then design from scratch or offer guidance on the exact specification of the project so our Clients can be confident that they are submitting the plans which have the best chance of success with Local Authorities. A selection of exemplary CPC lead schemes are available in this brochure under ‘Case Studies’.


NEGOTIATION

Once a planning application is submitted it is CPC’s responsibility, through careful negotiation, to aid the proposals through the system so that a planning permission can be delivered without delay. Whether this is in writing, over the phone or face-to-face we are competent negotiators who pride themselves on communicating effectively on behalf of our clients.


REALISE

Once planning permission is obtained CPC are on hand to help deliver the development. Local CPC has vast experience in discharging planning conditions, which can often be difficult for developers to overcome. Whether it be drainage, contamination, acoustics or any other technical matter; we can discharge the condition.
