Planning
Planning consultants in Hampshire.
Clear, structured advice from early feasibility through to appeal. Complex and policy-sensitive sites are our specialism, and because we are architects too, our planning advice is grounded in what can actually be built.
Planning, led strategically
From "is this site possible?" to consent secured.
Good planning starts with an honest read of the site. We tell you early whether a proposal is realistic, where the risks sit, and what evidence a positive decision will need, then we build the case to get there.
Kerry Dames is an RTPI Chartered Planner who works across all Local Planning Authorities in the South East and South West, including the South Downs and New Forest National Parks. We act on our own schemes and alongside other architects and design teams.
