Planning news

We could be your planning specialists, come and say Hello!

6th November 2018 By Lavingham Planning Consultants Ltd

We are town and rural planning and development specialists.

We have been in business for the last two years but have developed a huge amount of experience as our principle, Andrew Cunningham, has spent 10 years of his professional life working in North Yorkshire in a local authority as part of their planning team.

In addition, to this varied experience, Andrew also holds an MSc in Town Planning and is a full member of the Royal Town Planning Institute. This experience, qualifications and excellent local authority knowledge of handling the full range of planning application types is a perfect way to ensure that your planning application is managed through the complex and increasingly challenging planning system.

Andrew set up Lavingham Planning Consultants to apply his specialist knowledge of planning particularly in a

  • rural
  • urban
  • heritage context

to provide comprehensive, good value advice, tailored to client’s needs, to achieve the best possible outcome for clients, hopefully adding value to their property, portfolio or land holding.

We are based in North Yorkshire but engage with clients throughout the UK.

We do not charge a fee for an initial local site visit, or a telephone or email consultation about your development proposal. So please do contact us via our social media platforms, give us a call or drop us an email, with your enquiry!

Why are we different?

15th October 2018 By Lavingham Planning Consultants Ltd

What can we offer you that no other planning consultant can?

  • Honesty
  • Integrity
  • Results

These are just three of the commitments we offer to our clients as we care as much about your project as you do!

Honesty – We are sure all of our colleagues around the UK are honest and above board, as are we. But we believe in being honest and realistic with our clients about their projects and don’t offer to play the planning system as if it were a poker game. We know our planning regulations well and as previously being part of the planning system with our local District Council for a number of years we do feel we have an insight into how the Council thinks, operates and makes informed decisions.

Integrity – As the definition states – ‘good character, principles, ethics, morals, righteousness, morality, right-mindedness, virtue, decency, fairness, sincerity etc’. We tick all of those boxes. We are always totally 100% behind your project from the beginning all the way to the end, whilst keeping your needs in mind.

Results – We do believe in our results! In two years, we have been involved in over 79 planning projects and have 98% success record. We think that is worth shouting about!

If you would like to work with us, then please do get in touch, our website will tell you all about the type of work we do! Go to www.lavingham.com and consider us for your next project!

Cat Hotel, yes really!

3rd October 2018 By Lavingham Planning Consultants Ltd

We recently were delighted to work with a client who has an interesting planning requirement for a Cat Hotel!!

It was a first for us, but that’s what we like about our job, it always shows us something different!

We were pleased that our clients got their approval for the cat hotel and will be welcoming their new guests in the future.

But it got us thinking? Cat Hotels – what are owners and their cats looking for?

Take a look at the world’s most luxurious cat hotels here!

Definitely paws for thought!!!!

If you have an unusual project we can help you with, then please get in touch at www.lavingham.com or on our social media!
