What can we do to help you?

Since 2012, local communities can create a Neighbourhood Plan which then will help determine the outcome of planning applications within that area. A Neighbourhood Plan has legal standing as part of the planning process and gives a local community an opportunity to have real say in planning decisions that affect that community.

Several steps are required before a Neighbourhood Plan can be approved and brought into legal force. Our team of specialist consultants can help you by using our experience in creating Neighbourhood Plans.

We can work with you on the entire process of your plans or any individual elements of it including:

project planning and management

community engagement and consultation

policy development

evidence collection and analysis

action planning

questionnaire design

Strategic Environmental Assessments

Basic Conditions Statements

Consultation Statements

We are able to work around your needs to provide you with the knowledge and tools to create a Neighbourhood Plan that works for Your Community.

Although the plan reflects the vision of the community it will be a legal document that will help determine the outcome of all local planning decisions. We use our expertise to draft the plan for you to make sure it meets all the legal requirements, and achieves what the community wants.

We have a network of professionals as our associates across the country to ensure that your project goes to plan!

For a no-obligation discussion to find out how we can help you, please contact us via the details above. We can come to your Parish Council or Steering Group meetings to help you understand the process of creating a Neighbourhood Plan and explain just how we can help you achieve it!
