South West

From our office in Cheltenham we work throughout the South West and Midlands, providing our planning expertise on projects of every size.

Cheltenham

We have been involved in a wide range of projects throughout Cheltenham – from planning applications and appeals, to enforcement and development appraisals.

Plainview Planning is a town planning consultancy specialising in securing valuable planning permissions for residential and commercial sites throughout the South West and Midlands. From large residential developments involving hundreds of houses to home extensions and changes of use – at Plainview we strive to prepare dynamic and persuasive planning applications for every project, whatever the scale.

Why Use Plainview Planning?

Why Use Plainview Planning?

We appreciate that there are lots of planning consultants and architects out there - so why choose Plainview Planning?

We are a friendly, approachable firm that takes pride in providing honest advice and innovative solutions to our clients. We also believe that everyone deserves expert planning advice, and we take pride in helping our corporate and private clients every step of the way.


Honest advice

Honest advice

We provide honest up-front advice about your project. If you do not have a good chance of success we will tell you. We think our honest approach to projects is why our three year success rate is 89% for all our applications, appeals and enforcement work.

Our team of planning experts are familiar with all aspects of the planning system, and prepare application and appeal documentation that is robust and persuasive.

Fixed Fee

Fixed Fee

We aim to be very transparent with our fee structure. All projects are on a fixed fee basis, and invoiced stage-by-stage.

There will never be any nasty surprises like photocopying charges, mileage allowance or additional hours.  What you see on a Plainview Planning quote is what you pay. We believe in clear, simple billing for all our clients.

Clear timelines

Clear timelines

We believe in a simple and clear approach to all projects. At the beginning of every new case we break it down into clearly defined stages, with appropriate goals and milestones. This is discussed and agreed with our client from the outset.

We provide regular updates to our clients during each stage, and are always available to discuss your project.
