Bartons Planning Application Service

Navigating the planning application process can be complex and time-consuming, especially if you are unfamiliar with the intricacies of planning regulations. At Bartons Planning & Development Consultancy, we offer a comprehensive Planning Application service that simplifies the process, allowing you to focus on your vision while we take care of the details.

Simplify the Planning Process with Bartons

Whether you’re planning a new dwelling, an extension, or a change of use, our Planning Application service is designed to make the process as straightforward as possible. We handle the entire application process from start to finish, ensuring that every requirement is met for a successful outcome. Our service includes preparing the necessary paperwork, liaising with planning authorities, and addressing any issues that may arise along the way.

Key Elements of Our Planning Application Service

5. Pre-Application Enquiries and Consultations

Engaging with the Local Planning Authority (LPA) through pre-application enquiries can significantly enhance the chances of a successful planning application. Bartons provides support in making these pre-application enquiries to gather early feedback from planning officers, allowing us to address potential concerns before formal submission.

We also facilitate consultations with statutory consultees, such as environmental or heritage bodies, where required, to ensure that all aspects of the proposal meet regulatory requirements. Where necessary, we consult with parish councils and neighbouring property owners to help build support for the project and address any local concerns early in the process.

1. Application Preparation

Preparing a planning application requires a thorough understanding of local and national planning policies, as well as the ability to present your proposal clearly and effectively. Bartons takes care of drafting all necessary documents, including application forms, planning statements, and any supporting evidence required to strengthen your case.

We ensure that your application is fully compliant with all relevant policies and meets the technical requirements set out by the planning authority. This attention to detail helps minimise delays and increases the likelihood of a positive outcome.

2. Submission and Communication

Once your application is ready, Bartons submits it to the local planning authority on your behalf. We manage all communication with planning officers throughout the process, ensuring that any queries or requests for additional information are promptly addressed. Our proactive approach helps to keep your application on track and avoid unnecessary delays.

We also provide regular updates to our clients, keeping you informed of progress and any developments. If any issues arise, such as objections from neighbours or requests for amendments, we will provide expert guidance on how to respond effectively.

3. Site and Design Considerations

A successful planning application must demonstrate that the proposed development is well-designed and suitable for the site. Bartons works closely with architects, engineers, and other professionals to ensure that the design of your project aligns with planning policy and local requirements. We help address site-specific considerations, such as access, layout, and impact on neighbouring properties, to ensure that the proposal is robust and capable of gaining approval.

4. Planning Conditions and Negotiations

In many cases, planning permission is granted subject to conditions that must be discharged before development can commence. Bartons provides ongoing support to help you meet these conditions, ensuring that your project progresses smoothly from planning approval to construction.

We also handle negotiations with planning authorities regarding Section 106 agreements, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) contributions, or any other planning obligations that may be required. Our goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients while ensuring compliance with planning requirements.
