Who we are
Based in Works Social, a coworking space in Nottingham’s Lace Market, our team of expert Chartered Town Planners adopts a strategic and flexible approach, ready to tackle cases nationwide.
With extensive experience as Chartered Town Planners, we deeply understand the planning process and the key arguments that sway planning decisions. Our years of service in planning departments have equipped us with a comprehensive understanding of the decision-making mechanisms crucial to your planning objection.
Our Background
We worked many years as Chartered Town Planners in Local Authorities in the Midlands and Southwest and have consulted for private planning firms such as Planning By Design and MPD Consultants to name just a few. On the other hand, our volunteer work for community organisations like CPRE (the Countryside Charity), and Friends of the Earth gives us unique insights into the complexities of producing effective objections in the planning process.
Our Network
In addition to case officers, we can consult a wide range of specialists, including Architects, Landscape Architects, Engineers, Surveyors, and Ecologists.
Our Approach
We take pride in our high success rate of planning objections that result in both refusals and applications being withdrawn. Our meticulous approach involves delivering customised objection letters that include a comprehensive site analysis, scrutiny of its planning history, and critical assessment of relevant planning policies and key issues. This ensures your planning representation not only gets heard but also influences the planning decision-making process.
Our Ethics
We strictly avoid conflicts of interest and have procedures in place to ensure no consultant works on a conflicting project.
Our Mission
We aim to simplify your life and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
