Yes — we act as your liaison with the local planning authority and building control, managing applications, submissions and correspondence so you don’t have to.

We provide a tailored quote based on your project’s complexity. No generic pricing — you’ll get clarity on what’s covered, our hourly rate and any potential additional costs before you commit.

At Fytche-Taylor Planning, we provide professional, thoroughly researched guidance for your project. From the earliest stages, we help you understand your site’s planning and development potential, ensuring your decisions are informed and strategic.

If possible, we’ll provide a quick initial response or flag any issues we’re already aware of that might affect development potential. However, planning is very complex and there is a lot to consider, and so the vast majority of sites require some research and investigation to ensure the advice we provide is accurate and reliable.

For most site enquiries or projects, we recommend our Development Appraisal service. This assessment explores all planning and development opportunities, giving you a clear picture of what’s achievable and the best way forward. Learn more about this service here.

Absolutely. Whether you already have architectural drawings or need full design support, we integrate seamlessly with your architect or take care of everything ourselves.

Not at all. We’re a multi‑discipline practice: land sourcing, site appraisals, architecture, planning, building control and even bespoke housebuilding all supported under one roof.

With over 50 years of combined experience in planning consultancy, architecture and construction, our team brings deep expertise across local authority roles, private practice and delivered developments.

Most new builds or significant changes need planning permission. Even smaller projects may require it depending on location and constraints. We can assess if your scheme falls under permitted development.

For many applications, decisions are reached within 8 weeks; more complex or major works may take up to 13 weeks or more. We keep you informed throughout the process.

Yes. We coordinate any specialist reports needed (ecology, trees, structural etc), handle appointments and integrate them into your planning submission so you remain our sole point of contact.

We have extensive expertise working with heritage, listed buildings and conservation areas. When required we appoint specialist heritage consultants and manage them as part of your project team.

Yes —but flood risk adds complexity. We assess whether a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) is needed, identify risk upfront, and guide you on whether development is viable before committing.

Yes. If your planning application was refused or needs representation at appeal, we provide expert support to resubmit, appeal or revise your scheme to improve the chances of success. In all cases where we did not handle your original application we will need to complete an in-depth paid-for review of the background to the decision before we can commit or advise on appeal representation.
