Our objective is to maximise the value of our client’s property assets.


We pride ourselves on our integrity and attention to detail, and our ability to deliver tactically astute advice, and cost-effective and high quality bespoke solutions to a broad range of clients.

Our extensive experience allows us to advise in relation to the full remit of town and country planning matters and to deal with a range of projects from large scale development projects through medium sized development schemes, to smaller scale planning matters, undertaking research and preparing planning strategies.

We aim to build strong and positive relationships with our clients, and take a personal approach to ensuring that they achieve their development objectives.

We lead the way by reacting to the continuing sea change in planning policy and legislation that guides planning decisions, and importantly; we understand how other parties can influence the planning process. The planning process is the subject of demands, frequently competing, and from many different parties – planning officers, statutory consultees, politicians, and communities.

We offer a perceptive and insightful approach to managing these interests, in seeking to meet client objectives, and to secure consents. This approach works for a variety of clients from commercial occupiers, strategic investors and volume housebuilders to local developers, landowners, and private individuals.

Our role in the planning process can be tailored to complement the skills of your own project team, and can also incorporate the management of sub-consultants, as appropriate.

Our Projects


Hybrid Planning & Development is a trusted and results-driven planning consultancy

View Our Projects

We have successfully led the planning process for developments across the UK.

We can demonstrate an excellent track record of success covering both small scale and larger, more complex development schemes.

We have extensive experience of dealing with a full range of planning applications from single dwellings, residential extensions and householder applications to major residential and build-to-rent schemes, changes of use and variation of condition applications for commercial operators and retailers, large-scale urban regeneration projects, and complex mixed-use schemes.

Irrespective of project size, the common theme in the delivery of our professional services, is the application of our expert knowledge of the planning and development system itself, and our ability to maximise the value of our clients’ property assets across all sectors, and at every level.

We maintain good working relationships with local authorities and utilise our local knowledge and experience to enable planning issues to be identified and tackled early on; to break down barriers, solve problems, and to deliver results for our clients.
