Wirral Planning Consultants

‘We love helping clients win Planning Permission across the Wirral’

The Wirral presents a diverse and complex planning environment, shaped by a mix of historic towns, coastal settlements, and suburban development. Around 45% of the borough lies within the Green Belt, adding further sensitivity to proposals.

The area includes a variety of contexts, from listed buildings and Conservation Areas in Birkenhead, Wallasey, and Heswall to residential and coastal zones in West Kirby, Hoylake, Moreton, Upton, and Bromborough.

We help secure Planning Permission for a wide range of schemes across the Wirral, including conversions, extensions, new-build developments, and changes of use. Many projects involve sensitive or heritage-led contexts where careful policy interpretation and presentation are key 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 Wirral 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 showing how your proposal aligns with national policy (NPPF), the Wirral Local Plan, and the specific context of your site, an essential part of any robust Planning submission.

Architectural Drawings

With over 25 years of experience, we produce comprehensive drawing packages that support a successful Planning Application, tailored to the Wirral’s mix of historic towns, coastal settlements, and suburban development.

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 Wirral LPA helping you avoid enforcement risks and delays.
