Town Planning – Development Projects
Our town planning services includes providing advice on small to medium sized development projects ranging from housing developments to urban regeneration schemes. Our strengths lie in exploring, not only the practical and strategic aspects of each project, but also its commercial potential, in guiding each scheme from concept to completion. As a result, Townscape seeks innovative solutions to meet clients’ objectives and devises planning strategies drawn on extensive experience that not only meet out clients’ expectations but frequently exceeds them. Our knowledge and experience is central to the successful negotiation of planning permissions and the quality of advice we provide to our clients.
We aim to provide a realistic and detailed of assessment of whether a site can achieve planning permission, indicating the type and quantity of development that we believe can be secured; how best to achieve this; and the likely timescale. Any appraisal will focus on the existing designation of the site and the relevant national, regional and local planning policy context, but will also take account of the planning history of the site and its physical characteristics / topography and that of the surrounding area.
When you’re planning a new development, it’s important to see the big picture. That’s why we will work closely with you: to develop solutions tailored to your individual requirements and current market trends.
We work with landowners, house builders, developers, and property companies to take forward development and new build initiatives.
We specialise in a wide variety of development scenarios, from inner city buildings changing use from commercial to residential, small scale mixed use developments, and release of strategic brownfield and greenfield land for development where possible. We are more than than happy to make your representations for your land and property within emerging local plans.

Townscape has experience advising clients in respect to office, warehousing, general and light-industrial developments, and obtaining planning permission. We work with the client’s aspirations and advise them accordingly, whilst at the same time negotiating and coordinating with commercial surveyors and planning officers. Frequently there are vacant commercial and industrial premises available that are suitable to clients’ needs, however, they require permission for a change of use or extension or other external alteration.
