From the earliest planning appraisal through to complex appeals — clear, practical support at every stage of the process.
At Boardman Planning, we provide clear, practical and tailored planning advice across a wide range of development projects. With over 20 years of experience across private consultancy, local government and the housing association sector, we understand the planning system from multiple perspectives.
Whether you are a homeowner, developer, landowner, business or organisation, Boardman Planning offers honest advice, responsive support and a pragmatic approach focused on achieving positive outcomes.
Early planning advice can play a vital role in shaping successful development proposals. Before you commit time and money to a project, a planning appraisal gives you a clear, objective view of where you stand.
Boardman Planning provides planning appraisals to assess the opportunities and constraints associated with a site or project. This includes reviewing planning policy, site history, development potential and likely planning considerations to provide clear and realistic advice on the prospects of securing planning permission.
Boardman Planning prepares, manages and supports a wide range of planning applications — from small-scale residential proposals through to more complex development schemes.
We work closely with clients and other consultants to coordinate the application process, prepare supporting planning statements and engage with local planning authorities to help deliver efficient and positive outcomes.
Where planning permission has been refused, or where proposals require further justification, Boardman Planning provides professional support through the appeals process.
We have experience preparing appeal statements and managing appeals through written representations, hearings and public inquiries. Our approach focuses on presenting clear, robust and well-reasoned planning arguments to give clients the strongest possible case.
Planning enforcement matters can be complex and time-sensitive. If you've received an enforcement notice or are concerned about alleged breaches of planning control, early advice is essential.
Boardman Planning provides practical advice in relation to alleged breaches of planning control, enforcement notices and retrospective planning applications. We work with clients to understand the issues involved and develop a clear strategy to help resolve matters effectively and proportionately.
Successful development often requires careful planning from the outset. Boardman Planning provides strategic planning advice to support landowners, developers and organisations in understanding development opportunities, planning risks and long-term planning potential.
This includes advice relating to emerging policy, site promotion and wider development considerations — helping you position your project for the best possible outcome over the long term.
Boardman Planning can prepare Design and Access Statements and Green Infrastructure Statements to support planning applications where required.
Green Infrastructure Statements are now a mandatory requirement for most planning applications in Wales. It is important that proposals clearly demonstrate how they consider landscaping, biodiversity, open space, connectivity and wider environmental benefits from the outset.
We work closely with clients and specialist consultants to prepare clear, proportionate and policy-compliant statements that support the planning process and help ensure applications meet local and national planning requirements.
Engaging with the planning process at an early stage can help identify key issues and improve the quality of development proposals before a formal application is submitted.
Boardman Planning assists clients through pre-application discussions with local planning authorities, helping to establish planning risks, opportunities and potential solutions at the earliest opportunity. Early engagement can save significant time and cost later in the process.
