Quick Answers

A planning consultant provides professional advice on development proposals and helps guide projects through the planning system. Their role includes assessing site potential, preparing and submitting planning applications, coordinating supporting technical reports and engaging with local planning authorities to improve the chance of securing planning permission.

It is best to appoint a planning consultant as early as possible in the development process. Early planning advice can help identify site constraints, assess planning policy requirements and shape proposals before submitting a planning application, reducing the risk of delays or refusal.

The time required to secure planning permission depends on the scale and complexity of the development proposal. Minor planning applications are typically determined within around eight weeks, while larger developments may take several months and require consultation with local planning authorities and technical specialists.

Outline planning permission establishes whether a development proposal is acceptable in principle, with detailed matters such as layout, design and scale approved later. Full planning permission approves all aspects of the development, including detailed design, access arrangements and landscaping proposals.

While no consultant can guarantee planning permission, an experienced planning consultant can significantly improve the likeliness of success. They understand planning policy, local authority requirements and the planning application process, helping to prepare robust applications and manage discussions with planning officers.

A planning application is a formal request submitted to a local planning authority seeking permission to carry out development. Applications typically include plans, technical reports and supporting documents that demonstrate how the proposal compiles with planning policy and local development plans.
