North East Lincolnshire includes Grimsby, Cleethorpes, and Immingham. Planning focuses on urban regeneration, seaside development, and residential schemes. Known for fishing heritage, industrial sites, and coastal communities, planning is primarily urban-focused.
In the last year North East Lincolnshire decided 468 applications which is well below the national average of 988. The approval rate was 95% (marginally above the national average of 88%) and 48% of applications were decided on time, (significantly below the national average of 59%).

Alongside acting as Planning Consultants we are ARB registered architects with 25+ years of experience. We advise on and prepare planning applications across a range of development types, including:
We specialise in resolving complex planning challenges through thoughtful architectural design, turning constrained or difficult sites into successful Planning Permission outcomes. Let’s discuss your project.
