Planning Applications & Appeals
Small Fish provides comprehensive management for all types of planning applications and appeals by offering strategic advice and maintaining clear, consistent communication between you and your architect throughout the entire process.
We engage with and commission local specialist consultants to prepare the necessary accompanying technical assessments required by the Local Planning Authority.
Additionally, we prepare a robust Planning Statement and complete all application forms, and manage the final submission along with all required supporting documentation.
By handling every administrative and technical detail, we ensure your project is presented effectively to the local authority.
Planning Statements
Small Fish prepares meticulously researched Planning Statements that deliver the robust justification needed to secure your development approval.We conduct an in-depth assessment of all relevant national and local planning policies to demonstrate precisely how your proposal aligns with official guidelines.
These comprehensive documents identify the specific context and need for your project, directly addressing potential objections to overcome or prevent reasons for refusal.By providing a strict policy-based rationale, our statements go significantly beyond a standard Design and Access Statement to build a compelling case for permission.
Strategic Planning Advice
We deliver expert strategic guidance at critical junctures before, during, and after the planning process. Our pre-application advice helps identify potential policy constraints and opportunities early on, saving you valuable time and capital before formal submission.
If you encounter issues during the determination of your application, we can review your application and suggest solutions to overcome objections.
Post-application, we assist in navigating complex council feedback, managing planning conditions, or formulating a strong response to a refusal. This ongoing strategic oversight ensures your development strategy remains resilient and fully compliant from concept to completion.
