Nottingham Planning Consultants

‘We love helping clients win Planning Permission in Nottingham’

Nottingham is a dynamic and varied planning environment shaped by a mix of historic streetscapes, Victorian and Georgian architecture, and modern developments.

The area encompasses a wide range of contexts; from listed buildings and Conservation Areas in the Lace Market and Hockley to residential and commercial zones in Clifton, West Bridgford, and The Meadows. Only 9.9% of Nottingham Local Planning Authority land is designated as Green Belt, making most development opportunities within the urban area.

We help secure Planning Permission for a variety of schemes across the city, including conversions, rooftop extensions, new-build developments, and changes of use; often in highly sensitive or design-led contexts where careful policy interpretation and clear presentation are essential to success.

Services We Offer

A successful Planning Application requires more than plans and forms; it relies on experience, sound judgement, and a constructive working relationship with the Local Planning Authority. Our carefully prepared submission packages give Nottingham City Council confidence that your proposal is well considered, policy compliant, and worthy of approval. We provide the following services:

Planning, Design & Access Statements

We prepare clear and detailed statements that demonstrate how your proposal aligns with national policy (NPPF), Nottingham’s Local Plan, and the local site context — an essential part of any robust Planning submission.

Conservation Area Consents

We explain and justify your scheme’s layout, appearance, access, and relationship to its surroundings — particularly important for proposals within Conservation Areas such as the Lace Market, Hockley, and The Meadows.

Architectural Drawings

With over 25 years of experience, we produce comprehensive drawing packages that support a successful Planning Application, tailored to Nottingham’s varied historic and urban environments.

Consultant Validation Reports

Many applications require supporting technical reports. We obtain quotations from trusted consultants, advise on the most suitable team, and coordinate all specialist inputs including transport, drainage, ecology, and heritage assessments.

Lawful Development Certificates

We prepare and submit LDCs for:

Permitted Development extensions and alterations
Long-established or undocumented changes of use
Confirming lawful use of land or buildings ahead of sale or re-financing
We gather the required evidence and present a clear and compelling case to Nottingham City Council, helping you avoid enforcement risks and delays.
