Wigan Planning Consultants

‘We love helping clients win Planning Permission in Wigan’

Wigan is a varied and evolving planning environment, shaped by its industrial heritage, town centres, and surrounding countryside. The borough includes a wide range of contexts, from Conservation Areas and listed buildings in Wigan town centre and Leigh, to residential neighbourhoods across its urban and suburban areas.

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

Around 55% of Wigan 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 Wigan LPA 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), Wigan’s Local Plan, and the specific 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 Wigan town centre, Leigh, and Standish.

Architectural Drawings

With over 25 years of experience, we produce comprehensive drawing packages that support a successful Planning Application, tailored to Wigan’s diverse urban, suburban, and rural contexts.

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 Wigan’s varied urban, suburban, and Green Belt 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 Wigan Local Planning Authority helping you avoid enforcement risks and delays.
