Strategic planning advice to unlock development potential, navigate complex consent processes and maximise the value of land and property assets.
The planning system is one of the most significant determinants of value in UK real estate. TMP's planning and consultancy team provides strategic advice to landowners, developers and investors — helping them understand the planning potential of their assets and navigate the consent process efficiently.
We work alongside specialist planning consultants, architects and other technical advisors — coordinating the planning process and ensuring that the development narrative is commercially compelling as well as technically sound.
Developing bespoke planning strategies to maximise development potential — from initial site assessment through to consent and beyond.
Coordinating pre-application discussions with local planning authorities and statutory consultees to shape proposals before formal submission.
Managing the preparation and submission of planning applications — coordinating technical consultants and maintaining dialogue with the LPA throughout.
Representing landowners and developers in local plan processes — seeking allocations and promoting sites through emerging development plan documents.
Supporting clients through planning appeals, public inquiries and hearings — building compelling cases to overturn refusals and secure consent.
Broader advisory covering viability assessments, development appraisals, highest and best use analysis and development brief preparation.
