North East Lincolnshire includes Grimsby, Cleethorpes, and Immingham. Planning focuses on urban regeneration, seaside development, and residential schemes.

Open Countryside within North East Lincolnshire refers to land situated outside built-up areas and Green Belt boundaries, typically comprising farmland or natural landscapes. Residential development is generally restricted unless special circumstances can be demonstrated.
North East Lincolnshire contains the Humber Estuary and the marshland near Immingham, areas of ecological and visual importance.
One of the top reasons poorly prepared proposals in the Open Countryside are refused is that they fail to demonstrate a policy-supported need. To minimise that risk with bespoke advice contact us here.
In some areas of the LPA, flood risk plays a key role in determining planning proposals. The Humber Estuary and a low-lying North Sea coastline place large areas of Grimsby and Cleethorpes within Flood Zone 3, with tidal inundation risk a major concern for the authority. Where constraints permit, we can develop proposals that manage flood risk thoughtfully to give applications the best chance of approval.
In addition to acting as Planing Conultants we are ARB registered architects with 25+ years of experience. Our planning proposals are creatively tailored to each site to maximise potential and improve planning outcomes. We use the following tried and tested process to guide clients in North East Lincolnshire through planning to completion:
