Do I need a planning consultant for my residential project?
Yes. A specialist consultant improves planning chances, particularly on sites with complex policies or constraints.
What is pre-application advice, and why is it valuable?
It helps align proposals with policy, reduces risk, and gathers early feedback from local authorities.

Yes. We specialise in maximising the potential of sites of all sizes, including infill plots, brownfield land, and constrained locations, ensuring proposals are practical, policy-compliant, and deliverable.

Planning Appeals
Even with careful planning, applications can sometimes be refused or be delayed by the planning authority. Planning appeals give applicants the opportunity to challenge a decision or non-determination and secure permission through a formal process. Our team at Fytche-Taylor Planning has extensive experience guiding clients through appeals, preparing robust statements, and achieving successful outcomes.
