AK Planning acts for developers, landowners, investors, funders and public bodies, and for private clients on matters such as retention or regularisation of unauthorised development or a change of use, and occasionally a one-off house, subject to capacity. The first conversation sets out the planning position and the realistic options, on the merits.
Enquiries about instructions are answered within one working day. Every instruction is on a fee basis, and the practice does not provide a free advisory or helpline service. A general question about whether minor householder works need permission is best put to the planning department of the local authority; the formal answer is a declaration under section 5. The planning guides and tools on this site are published as a public service.
