BUILD - Architecture Awards 2017

44 Build 2017 Architecture Awards LF Planning is a professional and complete town planning consultancy supporting a wide range of clients with many innovative projects. David discusses the firm’s service offering in more detail as well as showcasing the latest project that has helped drive the firm to the success it enjoys today. “At HLF Planning we offer the full spectrum of town planning and design services to both individual and commercial clients, our practice covers planning permission for all types of development including changes of use, planning appeals for both individuals and assisting other industry professionals, land promotion and design services working alongside respected architects. We are also one of few consultancies recognised by the Royal Institute as having the capacity and knowledge to provide legal advice. To ensure excellence for our clients, we approach each project as a bespoke entity, we first make sure that what our clients are hoping to achieve is both achievable and will ultimately deliver their end goals. It is a silly assumption not to make, but we explain that there is no point getting permission for something that you don’t want or that will not work for you in the long run. “Looking back over the last year, the project that we are most proud of in 2016/2017 was the grant of planning permission for eight new detached dwellings in a sensitive village location abutting a national park. The project was particularly rewarding as the site started as a grazing field outside the settlement boundary, but through hard work, determination and against a backdrop of fierce local opposition the site was eventually allocated for housing and planning permission subsequently granted. The project needed a design led approach and we undertook public consultations and presented to the local parish to encourage the local opposition to work with us to get a scheme everyone could be proud of.” Moving forward, HLF Planning is looking to build upon its current success and grow even further, as David concludes. “This year we are seeking to modernise our website, a project that is expected to be completed by the autumn, we are looking to add value to the architectural industry and will be looking for regional partners to form working relationships with.” Best Town Planning Consultancy - South England HLF Planning is an established town planning consultancy that specialises in obtaining planning permission for home-owners, the leisure industry, commercial clients and property developers.
