Our Services
At CPC, we undertake projects ranging from small proposals to major developments, guiding them from inception through to completion with expert input at every stage. We deliver attractive, well-considered schemes with a strong focus on design quality, commercial viability, and contextual fit. Our involvement is tailored to your needs—whether you require standalone advice or a fully integrated service.
01
Planning Appraisals
CPC delivers clear, strategic analysis of local and national planning policy, identifying a site’s key opportunities and constraints. We assess planning history, environmental factors, and physical context, such as flood risk, highways impact, and surrounding character, to inform decision-making. Assessments are usually remote but can include site visits when needed.
02
Pre-Application Advice
CPC manages the full pre-application process, from preparing and submitting documentation to the local authority to leading engagement, negotiation, and follow-up with key stakeholders. We work to secure clear, constructive feedback that aligns with planning policy and supports the project’s objectives, setting a strong foundation for success at the application stage.
03
Planning Applications
CPC provides a full, tailored ‘end-to-end’ planning service, supporting clients from early concept development through to successfully securing planning permission. We prepare and coordinate all required documentation, lead the design process with consultants, and liaise closely with local authorities to achieve the best possible outcome for every project.
04
Discharge of Planning Conditions
Our experienced team specialises in managing and discharging complex planning conditions tied to granted permissions. Our proactive, detail-focused approach ensures all requirements are met efficiently and thoroughly. By streamlining this crucial phase, we help clients minimise delays, reduce risk, and move forward confidently toward a timely site start.
05
Planning Appeals
If a planning application is refused, we draw on our extensive expertise to manage appeals strategically and effectively. We oversee the process from documentation to liaising with the Planning Inspectorate, developing clear, persuasive, evidence-based cases through written representations, hearings, or public inquiries to maximise success.
Fees
Our services are flexible and scalable. You can appoint us to support:
➤ A single asset or a full estate portfolio
➤ One stage or full end-to-end delivery
Our fee structure is tailored to suit the level of support each client requires. Fees are determined by:
➤ Scope and scale of opportunity
➤ Planning complexity and risk
➤ Level of technical input required
➤ Degree of delivery involvement
This approach ensures consultancy costs align proportionately with project value and strategic ambition.
For clients with larger property portfolios, we also offer fixed-fee arrangements—typically structured into low, medium, and high tiers, depending on project complexity. If this is of interest, we’d be happy to discuss further.
