Expert-Led Planning Services for Complex Developments
At Arthian, our expert Planning Consultancy team deliver strategic, resilient, and outcome-driven planning advice and solutions tailored to complex infrastructure and multidisciplinary developments. Whether you’re advancing a renewable energy project or a large-scale commercial, industrial, leisure, or residential scheme, we offer comprehensive support across the entire project lifecycle — from initial feasibility for both large and small scale projects we can provide a planning strategy through to determination, construction, and successful delivery.
Our Chartered Planners bring wide-ranging experience in securing consents for technically challenging projects across the UK and Ireland. With a multi-disciplinary approach, we lead and coordinate engineering, environmental, and commercial insights to unlock development potential and guide your project through all aspects of the planning process.
We help identify viable development sites aligned with your goals, assessing zoning, access, environmental constraints, sustainability, and policy context.
Our feasibility reviews consider planning and environmental risks early in the project lifecycle, offering informed go/no-go decisions that safeguard investment and influence project strategy.
We manage the full suite of planning applications — such as residential, leisure, renewables, commercial and industrial, as well as nationally significant infrastructure.
Our planners liaise directly with Local Planning Authorities, government agencies, consultees, and community interest groups and key stakeholders to streamline submissions, address issues early, and deliver high-quality, policy-compliant proposals that stand up to scrutiny.
We produce robust and persuasive planning documents including:
All documents are carefully coordinated with inputs from environmental and technical specialists, architects and engineers to ensure regulatory compliance and demonstrate the merits of the proposal.
Our Planning Consultancy specialists provide full coordination and management of the EIA process for Schedule 1 and 2 projects.
We assess environmental risks early, lead the screening and scoping process, and prepare comprehensive Environmental Statements that support informed decision-making and sustainable project design.
We represent clients during Local Plan consultations, ensuring clients’ interests are considered in spatial strategies and policy frameworks. With decades of experience, we deliver clear, evidence-based representations that influence emerging policy and promote future development potential.
We design and deliver tailored public consultation strategies to build support and address community concerns. Online engagement includes interactive platforms, webinars, surveys and feedback portals, while an in-person consultation includes public exhibitions, stakeholder interviews and site visits.
Our planners ensure feedback is captured and considered as part of the emerging design.
