At Compass Planning, we’re proud to offer honest, objective, and pragmatic expert planning advice at reasonable fees. While we use our expertise to maximise your chances of approval, we remain committed to ethical standards — we won’t tell you what we don’t believe in, and we’re not afraid to turn down requests. We do this because we understand how confusing and frustrating the planning system can be. Our goal is to provide clarity, confidence, and support throughout the process.
Expertise
We have extensive experience navigating the complexities of developments in sensitive sites, including conservation areas, Green Belt zones, and listed buildings. Our expertise ensures that projects comply with planning regulations and policies.
Client-Centric Approach
Navigating the planning process can be complex and time-consuming. At Compass Planning, we take the time to listen and understand your needs. By focusing on just one or two projects at a time, we ensure dedicated attention, offering proactive solutions to prevent unnecessary delays, resubmissions, or appeals—helping you secure the permissions your development requires efficiently and with confidence.
