Planning and buildability

Planning Consultancy

Planning work should begin with the property, the proposed changes and the current local constraints—not a generic assumption about which route applies.

A practical planning sequence

  1. Identify the property, planning history, relevant designations and the proposed scope.
  2. Confirm which planning route and other consents need to be investigated for that scope.
  3. Develop drawings and supporting information that explain the proposal in its site context.
  4. Test buildability alongside the planning design so an approval can move into technical coordination.
  5. Track decisions and conditions that affect the construction information or programme.

Planning map

Use the map as a starting point for local planning context, then verify the current records for the specific property.

Bring planning and construction together

Planning drawings answer a different question from technical construction information. Reviewing structure, access, services, sequencing and compliance while the proposal is developed helps expose conflicts before work reaches site.
