Planning Advice
“Consensus Planning have secured an excellent result for us despite initial strong resistance from planning officers however, immediate action by Consensus Planning again enabled this problem to be resolved and planning permission finally issued within the 13 week timetable. Consensus Planning’s persistence meant the planners agreed that the scheme was acceptable this was backed by a unanimous show of support from Planning Committee Members. This scheme would have been refused without the pro-active approach of Consensus Planning from start to finish, we would thoroughly recommend them to any other developer.” - Kebbell Homes, June 2008
“Consensus Planning have secured an excellent result for us despite strong resistance from Planning Officers during the lengthy pre-application discussions. Their pro-active dogged persistence eventually meant the Planners had to agree that the scheme was acceptable given the community benefit to Chesham and the restoration of a prominent currently dilapidated Listed Building. This was backed by a unanimous show of support from Planning Committee Members. The vision, experience and pro-active approach from start to finish by Consensus Planning was key to securing this consent. Their servicing of this instruction in relation to knowledge, attention to detail, response times and the way they have handled the various characters involved in this application throughout the Planning process was fundamental to the securing of this consent and Consensus are to be strongly commended for that.” - Porchester Homes, April 2008
“Jarvis have undertaken a number of backland sites in the past which have often proved politically sensitive. We were therefore delighted that through Consensus Planning’s approach, we were able to secure consent on this potentially problematic backland site at the first attempt and at a negotiated level exceeding the density we had anticipated. Consensus’s sound Planning Policy Advice in conjunction with their approach to Community Consultation, has meant we were able to use them as a one stop shop in securing planning consent on our behalf with minimal involvement on our part as a result. We would highly recommend them to any of our house building competitors.” - Jarvis, August 2007
“Consensus Planning have secured an excellent result for us despite strong resistance from planning officers. Consensus Planning’s pro-active dogged persistence eventually meant the planners had to agree that the scheme was acceptable. This was backed by a unanimous show of support from Planning Committee Members. Despite this Officers then had problems with the section 106 legal agreement and were considering refusing the scheme. Immediate action by Consensus Planning again enabled this problem to be resolved and planning permission finally issued within the 13 week timetable. This scheme would definitely have been refused without the vision, experience and pro-active approach of Consensus Planning from start to finish, we simply left them to get on with it and we would thoroughly recommend them to any other developer.” - Cairnpark Properties, November 2006
“Consensus Planning have been absolutely superb throughout the course of the application process and I can genuinely say that their servicing of this instruction has been about the best I have ever received from a consultant in relation to knowledge, attention to detail, response times and the way they have handled the various characters involved in this application throughout the Planning process – I think the rapport that was developed with the planning officer was fundamental to the securing of this consent and Consensus are to be strongly commended for that.” - Fairhurst Estates, September 2006 (Property estate managers of the NTS tyre national portfolio)
