Area of Expertise


Our Planning Department of 5 Partners and 20 planners provides a comprehensive and cost-effective service to help achieve your development objectives. Our work includes feasibility studies, strategic development advice, influencing the statutory plan-making process, retail and environmental impact assessments, planning applications, appeals and inquiries. We work for a wide range of clients including landowners, developers, housebuilders, commercial, leisure and retail operators, private healthcare providers and investment companies. We have experience of working on large mixed-use developments and have achieved planning permission for some great schemes.

Our Professional Services Department provides occupiers of all types of commercial property with a wide range of specialist advice tailored to suit their individual requirements. Our services range from conducting searches for companies looking to acquire business premises as well as providing advice to existing occupiers looking to minimise occupational costs at rent review as well as negotiating the best possible terms at lease renewal.
With the 2010 Rating revaluation likely to affect all occupiers of commercial premises, we can investigate whether an appeal against the new rating assessment could result in savings in the Business Rates payable and if so, we can make the necessary appeal on your behalf on a very cost effective basis.
