Are you looking for planning advice?

Do you need a development appraisal?

Do you need advice on design for your scheme?

Strata Associates offers individuals, businesses and landowners the complete Build & Development package….

Planning ServicesStrata can help formulate your planning strategy for your project which might entail devising a series of options that will ultimately achieve the right set of decisions for your land and property.

We are experienced in managing all types of development projects. This includes rural schemes involving farm business and land. We also have experience in handling heritage projects where listed buildings and those in conservation areas are involved.

Getting the foundations right for any building project is crucial, and we don’t mean literally! This can entail carrying out feasibility studies, comprehensive building surveys and doing thorough preparation as this needs to be carried out well in advance of the submission of planning applications. Unfortunately, some individuals might proceed without the required preparation and this can undermine the value of the consents, costing both time and resources.

At Strata Associates we can manage projects from start to finish and we assist clients with every step of the build process. We can offer down to earth, cost effective advice in all aspects of your development project.

The Planning Application Process

By working with Strata Associates, we can save you many headaches by acting on your behalf as agents for planning applications. Making the right kind or planning application to suit your needs is critical to maximise your chances of success. Planning decisions are made on a balance of a number of planning considerations which are known as material considerations – these issues are becoming increasing complex due to the type and form of applications now in place and the number of issues involved in the process. We can bring in the appropriate expertise to address those issues from ecology assessments to sustainability and highway appraisals, critical to achieving a successful outcome.

From submitting your application through to liaising with the local authority and dealing with issues that may be raised through the planning process… we have an in-house team and the hands-on experience and expertise to fully act as your agent.
