We have long-standing expertise in providing support to various public sector clients. We assist public sector organisations in the delivery of their statutory functions and maximising the value of their landholdings and assets through the planning system.
Bringing together experts from across DLP, we assist local authorities in preparing local plans and evidence base studies to support policy-making, as well as providing training to local authority officers in planning and design matters.
We can also provide a development management role, assisting local authorities in determining planning applications, providing expert witness services at appeal hearings and inquiries, and providing housing land supply and other evidence to defend appeals.
We provide planning, architecture and highways consultancy services to support public bodies looking to maximise the value of their assets by securing planning permission.
We advise Neighbourhood Plan Groups, including Parish Councils and community groups, on the development of Neighbourhood Plans and supporting evidence.
