At Boyer, we are dedicated to supporting our clients through a wide range of projects, such as town planning, design, and regeneration services. Our people are experienced in guiding you through the often-rigorous journey of development planning to prepare land for use. Our aim is to help your team maximise the value of their property, while providing communities with access to homes, businesses, schools and healthcare.

A critical understanding of the elements of planning

Our experienced team works with clients on all parts of the planning process, carefully considering:  

  • Infrastructure supporting the site: such as water supply, access routes, and road network 

  • The number, layout, and external appearance of your proposed buildings 

  • The purpose of the development 

  • The development’s impact on the environment and local area 

Quick Answers

Development planning is the process of assessing land and preparing strategies to support new development proposals through the planning system. It involves reviewing planning policy, identifying opportunities and constraints and preparing a planning strategy to help secure planning permission for residential, commercial or mixed-use development.

A development planning strategy sets out how a site can successfully progress through the planning process. This may include reviewing local planning policy, assessing site constraints, coordinating technical studies and preparing a strategy for securing planning permission or promoting land through the Local Plan.

A Local Plan sets out how land will be used within a local authority area and identifies sites suitable for future development. Sites that are allocated within a Local Plan are generally more likely to secure planning permission, as the principle of development has already been established through the planning policy framework.

The development potential of a site is influenced by several planning considerations, including local planning policy, infrastructure capacity, environmental constraints and surrounding land uses. Understanding these factors early in the planning process can help shape proposals and reduce development risk.

Effective development planning helps reduce risk by identifying potential planning constraints at an early stage. By understanding planning policy requirements, coordinating technical evidence and engaging with local planning authorities, developers can improve the chances of achieving planning permission.
