Our Services

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
