Salford Planning Consultants
‘We love helping clients win Planning Permission in Salford’
Salford is a diverse and evolving planning environment, shaped by historic industrial areas, waterside developments, and a mix of residential, commercial, and cultural districts. The city encompasses a wide variety of contexts, from Conservation Areas and listed buildings in Salford Quays and Greengate to high-density residential neighbourhoods in Pendleton and Ordsall.
We assist in securing Planning Permission for a range of projects across Salford, 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 key to a successful outcome. We also have a strong track record of obtaining Planning Approval for distinctive, prestige dwellings in Worsley and other high-quality residential areas of Salford.
Around one-third of Salford lies within the Green Belt, where proposals require particularly careful design and policy justification.
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 SalfordCity 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), Salford’s Local Plan, and the specific site context — including sensitive or high-quality residential areas such as Worsley. This ensures your Planning submission is robust, well-evidenced, and gives your scheme the best chance of approval.
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 Salford Quays, Greengate, and Worsley.
Architectural Drawings
With over 25 years of experience, we produce comprehensive drawing packages that support a successful Planning Application, tailored to Salford’s diverse and design-led urban environment, from historic quarters to modern waterside developments.
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, tailored to Salford’s varied urban and historic contexts.
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 Salford City Council, helping you avoid enforcement risks and delays.
