A planning agent is a professional, typically a consultant or a firm, that represents individuals in navigating the often complicated planning process.  Their primary role is to assist clients in obtaining planning permission.  and/or building regulations approval.  Often, as with Archetype Central, they offer the same service for building regulations approval and working drawings packages too.

Planning agents work closely with local authorities to ensure that proposals comply with planning regulations, policies and guidelines.  They help clients by preparing and submitting planning applications, providing essential documentation such as plans and statements.  This involves thorough research and analysis of local planning policies to determine the feasibility of a proposed development.

Additionally, planning agents are able to engage in pre-application discussions with local planning authorities on your behalf.  This process can assist in identifying potential issues and further improve the prospect of success of a planning application.

The bottom line is that you can submit a planning application yourself – anyone can.  But… a planning agent can make life so much easier for you.  They speak the language, understand the requirements and can produce revisions to suit both you and the local authority.  Planning agents can play a crucial role in facilitating the planning process, helping to bridge the gap between clients and local government red tape.

Archetype Central is proud to be a planning agent with a fantastic success rate of securing planning permission.  Why not contact us today and let us help you navigate the process?
