Knowsley Planning Consultants

‘We love helping clients win Planning Permission in Knowsley’

Knowsley is a varied and evolving planning environment, shaped by its industrial heritage, residential neighbourhoods, and extensive green spaces. The borough includes a wide range of contexts, from Conservation Areas and listed buildings in Huyton and Prescot to suburban and village settings across its towns and villages.

We help secure Planning Permission for a variety of schemes throughout Knowsley, including conversions, rooftop extensions, new-build developments, and changes of use; often in sensitive or design-led locations where careful policy interpretation and presentation are critical to success.

Around 49 per cent of Knowsley lies within the Green Belt, where proposals require particularly careful design and policy justification.
