Improving the chances of obtaining planning permissionProtecting assets 1

When you want to redevelop a site, the commercial viability of a project can be significantly affected by the approach you take to obtaining planning permission.

  • Ensure the application is consistent with national and local planning policies
  • Monitor the application process to identify and deal with potential problems as they arise
By using Richard Max & Co's experience and expertise you will
  • Minimise expense
  • Avoid delays
  • Maximise your chances of a successful application

Protecting and enhancing development potential

Protecting assets 2

Local Authorities typically review their Development Plan every five years. It makes good commercial sense, even if you have no immediate plans to develop a site, to monitor, as well as influence, policy changes that may affect property you own.

Richard Max & Co will help you play the long game when it comes to exploiting the local plan to your advantage. We can work with you to present your case both to Local Authorities and at local Plan Inquiries.
