North East Lincolnshire includes Grimsby, Cleethorpes, and Immingham. Planning focuses on urban regeneration, seaside development, and residential schemes. Known for fishing heritage, industrial sites, and coastal communities, planning is primarily urban-focused.
In the last year North East Lincolnshire decided 447 applications which is well below the national average of 959. The approval rate was 94% (marginally above the national average of 88%) and 46% of applications were decided on time, (significantly below the national average of 58%).

In addition to acting as Planing Conultants we are ARB registered architects with 25+ years of experience. We provide a full range of planning services, including:
