Welcome to the ENABLING PROJECTS Website. We are a London based planning consultancy that undertakes work on a broad range of PROJECT TYPES, from small residential extensions to large mixed use developments. So, if you have a planning problem, planning refusal, or a new project idea, we hope that you will browse our website, download some case examples and CONTACT US.

We promote planning applications, progress schemes to planning permission stage, work on planning problems and refusals and undertake planning appeals. We also provide planning services at the 'front end', becoming involved at the early stages of a project, inc. undertaking feasibility studies. Our Planner is a Chartered Town Planner and a Member of the Royal Town Planning Institute (go to the RTPI)

Our website is designed for quick and easy access, so you can either scroll down on this page to find links to more information, or a good starting point might be the TRACK RECORD page.

NO OBLIGATION, NO FEE INITIAL ADVICE: Please feel free to either e-mail or telephone us for very initial advice on your planning refusal, problem, ongoing planning issue or proposed planning application. Since we started in 1987, we have always helped by having initial telephone discussions without charging a fee. This helps you get to know what is best to do and how best to do it. You will find an e-mail form and our telephone number in the CONTACT section. We look forward to hearing from you!!!

CONSULTANCY SERVICES

We pride ourselves in giving our clients an efficient and effective planning & development service.

Well over twenty years of experience in planning applications, permissions and appeals has resulted in a deep understanding of negotiation dynamics and planning submissions, with the use of positive methods to present and communicate planning projects to local councils. Using well tested negotiation methods, we have turned many difficult and marginal schemes into planning successes.

We will look at your initial development proposal or your under-utilised land and/or buildings and undertake a planning feasibility assessment. Our work also includes adopting development strategies for each scheme, to maximise the chance of success of obtaining planning permission.

Initial planning advice on development projects, including planning refusals, followed by presentations and negotiations with the Council concerned are conducted. We will take forward an appeal for you if necessary. The scheme is “positioned” so that its strengths are highlighted, thus ensuring that it gets over any planning hurdles and heads towards the build stage as quickly as possible.

More recently, we have developed an integrated planning and sustainable development approach. As issues of CLIMATE CHANGE and SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT have arisen, it has become ever more crucial to ensure that every planning application is sound not only from the planning point of view but in terms of its sustainability. Thus, we have developed a set of SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, which sit alongside our PLANNING CONSULTANCY SERVICES.

Our work can also include consultant coordination and development pipeline management of large property portfolios. And iIf a scheme fails at planning stage, then we progress planning appeals by written representations, informal hearing and public inquiry.

For some examples of our planning & development work please see the TRACK RECORD section of this website. PROJECT TYPES and CONSULTANCY SERVICES will also help to demonstrate our experience.

Whatever your situation, please view the contents of this web site to learn more about our planning led approach. Then, go to the CONTACTS section to communicate with us. We look forward to hearing from you.

WHY ENABLING PROJECTS?

WORKING THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS

<How to Lodge a Planning Application and Obtain Planning Permission>
 
WHY ENABLING PROJECTS?

Quite simply, that is our function.

For many years we have enabled development projects. In identifying sites and creating schemes, in promoting and obtaining planning permissions, we enable homes and jobs, good building design and layout. For housing associations we enable affordable dwellings and for developers and landowners we have enabled added value.

We see ourselves as “ENABLERS” in a broad planning and development context - hence the company name.

The “YOU ARE….” sections (see on navigation bar) explain how we can work with specific parties… and the DEVELOPMENT SITE ASSESSMENTS part of our web site sets out the opportunities that we are currently looking for.

 
WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP

We work in close partnership with clients, landowners, community groups and a wide range of parties with an interest in the UK planning process. Planning applications are progressed with a spectrum of people and organisations, including developers, property investors, housing associations, retail and leisure operators, local authorities, landowners and community organisations.

We welcome discussions with any parties that may become involved in the planning permission process. The two sides of our business can advise you through the hurdles of the process and proactively take forward development proposals to support the redevelopment of your land and buildings. All this can best be achieved by applying our WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP APPROACH.

We do hope that you will CONTACT us to discuss the possibilities.
