A list of consultants and consultancies offering planning advice and services

North West 2018

www.rtpiconsultants.co.uk If you have any queries about the directory please contact: rtpi.support@planningportal.co.ukor call 0333 323 4589

The online directory of planning consultants is managed by the Planning Portal and TerraQuest on behalf of the Royal Town Planning Institute.

The Planning Portal is the home of planning and building control.

In addition to processing over 90% of planning applications, it provides online application services, guidance on regulations and policy, a suite of tools and newsletters for industry professionals and a payment redirect service. The Planning Portal aims to transform the planning process, making information and services simpler and more accessible.

All consultants and consultancies listed employ members of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). RTPI members have met the highest standards of education and practice, are regulated by the RTPI and follow a Code of Professional Conduct. They can be relied upon to give the very best advice.

The type of work they carry out is wide-ranging and includes:

• Planning applications and appeals • Feasibility studies • Impact studies • Advocacy • Conservation • Research and monitoring • Strategic and local planning • Urban and rural design

It is important to understand that employing a planning consultant does not guarantee your application will succeed. But it does mean you have expert advice and help to ensure your application has the very best chance.

Many planning consultancies work on a national basis and though they may not have an office based in this specific region, their offices in neighbouring areas and further afield will carry out work within this region. The rear section of this leaflet lists those consultancies that also operate within this area or please visit www.rtpiconsultants.co.uk

Included in this leaflet are firms of solicitors, including legal members and legal associates of the RTPI.

Notes

The Royal Town Planning Institute champions the power of planning in creating prosperous places and vibrant communities. The RTPI uses expertise and research to bring evidence and thought leadership to shape planning policies and thinking, putting the profession at the heart of society’s big debates. The RTPI sets the standards of planning education and professional behaviour that give planners, wherever they work in the world, a unique ability to meet complex economic, social and environmental challenges. The RTPI is the only body in the UK that confers Chartered status to planners, the highest professional qualification sought after by employers in both private and public sectors. The RTPI represents over 25,000 members worldwide supporting them throughout their careers.

Many firms provide planning advice, but you can be confident that members of the RTPI have met the highest standards set by the planning profession, have appropriate insurance and are governed by a strict Code of Professional Conduct.
