Here at MPD Built Environment Consultants Limited, we have extensive experience working across the North of England and the Midlands with a variety of Local Authorities and Housing Associations. With our team consisting of both Chartered Planning & Development Surveyors (MRICS), as well as Chartered Town Planners (MRTPI), we have a strong grasp of financial viability economics, development management issues, and planning policies.
We can also boast strong credentials in dealing with heritage matters with fully accredited Conservation Professionals (IHBC) and Archaeologists (ACIfA) with significant local authority and private practice experience. As well as a fully accredited Chartered Construction Manager (MCIOB), who can advise on your build and project manage if required.
We are committed to providing a high quality and cost effective service to existing and new clients. An initial desktop evaluation or site visit is normally undertaken at the outset and from this point we can advise you on the best way forward to realise the development potential of your site. There are often several different planning options and based on your requirements, we can examine these and advise on their feasibility to provide a pathway to success.
Land is a finite resource and those seeking to achieve the most beneficial use of their land/buildings, need to ensure that proposals for development are promoted in the most effective manner based on solid planning advice. As Chartered Town Planners we are planning specialist who are regulated by the Royal Town Planning Institute. We have the experience and knowledge of the planning system, to produce informed proposals which comply with both local and national planning policies, whilst meeting the needs and wishes of our clients.
Packaging planning applications & planning appeals in a professional and appropriate manner could mean the difference between success and failure. Increasingly other property professionals are now advising their clients to instruct planning consultants at an early stage of the development process, as they are able to advice on the best way of approaching a potential development site. It is important to ensure you hire the right professional for the right project. Planning is not a protected profession.
