Scottish website survey 2010

The PPA website survey team are currently surveying the Scottish planning authority websites.

Pre-application and neighbour consultation

Our consultants are working on a variety of schemes, many of which have been designed in-house. Official pre-application with the Council and consultation with neighbours are both important stages of the planning process. We currently have a number of live projects at these stages across a range of planning authorities, in and around London, including the London Boroughs of Kingston, Croydon and Barnet, where we are consulting and negotiating on PPA designed schemes.

Planning advice and householder applications.

We continue to advise and help a number of small developers and householders with extensions and minor developments. We have been working on, and continue to support, applications for The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability in Putney. We have wide-ranging and recent experience of Compulsory Purchase disputes, enforcement and appeal cases. Our consultancy advises and continues to carry out internal Local Authority Planning Process Reviews as well as National Surveys and reviews of Planning Authority website services.
