Bartons Project Management Service

At Bartons Planning & Development Consultancy, we provide a complete Project Management service for homeowners and developers looking to navigate the planning process efficiently. Our expert team is dedicated to managing every aspect of your project, from initial feasibility and planning applications to condition discharge and ongoing liaison with the Local Planning Authority (LPA). With Bartons handling your project, you can rest assured that every detail is covered, allowing you to focus on your development goals.

Comprehensive Project Management from Start to Finish

Managing a development project requires a strategic approach to ensure that all planning requirements are met at each stage. Bartons offers a full range of services to support homeowners and developers through the entire planning and development process, including:

1. Pre-Application Services

Engaging with the LPA at the pre-application stage can help identify potential challenges early and streamline the planning process. Our pre-application services include submitting enquiries to the LPA to gather initial feedback, consulting with statutory consultees and stakeholders, and assessing the viability of your project against local and national planning policies.

We work closely with you to develop a clear strategy based on the feedback received during the pre-application process. By addressing potential issues before the formal planning application is submitted, we improve the likelihood of a favourable outcome.

2. Planning Application Preparation and Submission

Bartons handles all aspects of the planning application process, ensuring that every document and detail is in place. This includes preparing planning statements, compiling necessary evidence, and completing application forms.

Our expert team manages communication with the LPA, responds to any queries, and ensures that deadlines are met. Whether it is a full planning application, a householder application, or a change of use, Bartons provides a proactive approach to make the process as smooth and successful as possible.

3. Condition Discharge

Once planning permission is granted, there are often planning conditions attached that must be complied with before, during, or after the development. Bartons provides full support in discharging these conditions, ensuring that your project remains compliant throughout.

• Pre-Commencement Conditions: These conditions must be satisfied before any works can begin on-site. Bartons helps you compile the necessary reports, documents, and evidence to meet these conditions, ensuring that the LPA’s requirements are fully addressed and that there are no delays in starting your project.
• Compliance Conditions: Compliance conditions require adherence throughout the development process, such as maintaining specific environmental standards or following approved construction methodologies. Bartons provides ongoing project management to ensure that your development stays in compliance, liaising with the LPA and any other relevant authorities to keep everything on track.
• Post-Development Conditions: Some conditions may need to be fulfilled once the development is complete, such as landscaping or installing specific measures to mitigate impacts. Bartons supports clients in ensuring that these conditions are met to the satisfaction of the LPA, allowing for a smooth sign-off.

4. Stakeholder Engagement

Effective stakeholder engagement can be critical to the success of a development project. Bartons facilitates consultation with statutory consultees, parish councils, and local residents where necessary to help secure support and address any concerns early in the planning process.

By engaging proactively with stakeholders, we help reduce potential objections and ensure that all relevant parties are kept informed of the project’s progress. This collaborative approach helps to build positive relationships and minimise resistance to the development.

5. Monitoring and Reporting

Bartons provides ongoing monitoring and reporting throughout the planning and development process, ensuring that all milestones are met, conditions are discharged, and any issues are resolved promptly. We keep clients informed of progress at each stage, providing regular updates and clear guidance on any actions required.

Our proactive approach to project management helps to avoid costly delays and ensures that your development remains on schedule and compliant with all planning requirements.
