Liverpool Planning Consultants

‘We love helping clients win Planning Permission in Liverpool’

Liverpool has a world famous skyline shaped by its river frontage, historic mercantile development, and the network of established neighbourhoods that together form the city. It includes dense urban districts such as the Commercial District, Baltic Triangle, Ropewalks, and the Georgian Quarter, alongside suburban areas including Allerton, Woolton, Childwall, and West Derby. Parts of the city also adjoin stretches of Green Belt land on the edge of Merseyside, where development requires careful justification.

We assist in securing Planning Permission across Liverpool, whether your site is within a Conservation Area, close to heritage assets, on the urban fringe, or within a complex city centre setting. We can help you with:

Flat conversions and change-of-use schemes in the town centre

Intensification and infill plots in suburban areas.

Green Belt and Conservation Area planning proposals.

Brownfield site redevelopment.

Section 106 negotiations and affordable housing thresholds.

Lawful Development Certificates.
