We offer a range of services to guide your development from the earliest stage of site appraisals, through to discharging your final planning condition. With our wealth of expertise, we will support you every step of the way.
Our Approach: Making Planning Painless
We take the stress out of planning by making the process clear, structured, and responsive to your needs. Our team works with purpose and precision, identifying the best route forward and managing complexity on your behalf. By anticipating challenges and staying closely aligned with your objectives, we help you move through the system with confidence and clarity.
This approach informs everything we do. Whether advising at the earliest stages, engaging with policy, or supporting delivery, we bring clarity, rigour, and direction to every step. From appraisals to appeals, our focus is always on delivering effective outcomes, helping you realise the full potential of your project.
What we offer
An early understanding of the risks and opportunities of the planning system is key to any successful project. Combining ECE Planning’s key skills in planning, architecture and urban design, our appraisals seek to identify practical and innovative solutions that bring out the optimal approach for any site.
Going to appeal is never anyone’s first choice, but ECE Planning makes the process clear and manageable. Our team prepare robust written representations and present compelling arguments at Hearings and Inquiries, drawing on our experience to give every appeal the best chance of success.
Our team of experts will provide a professional and personal service that guides you and your project through the complexities of the Planning System, from project inception through to determination and completion.
Site promotion during Local and Neighbourhood Plan preparation can be a critical opportunity to enhance the potential of a site. Utilising their extensive experience, our expert consultants are here to help promote your interests and achieve optimal results.
Effective engagement with communities and decision makers is an essential part of ECE Planning’s approach. Our extensive experience in organising public consultation events, both online and in person, speaks to our dedication to making your planning journey as smooth as possible.
Establishing viability at an early stage is essential to any successful development. ECE Planning offers strategic advice on deliverability, identifying constraints and opportunities to shape a proposal that is achievable, adds value, and stands up to scrutiny.
With architecture delivered in-house by our sister company, ECE Architecture, we offer joined-up thinking from the earliest stages. This close partnership brings planning and design into seamless dialogue, helping to shape places with purpose, character, and clarity.
