Our planning services

  • Research and consultations

    We undertake desk-based research projects and consultations providing clients with specific geographical and policy findings to establish planning viability.

  • Surveys and assessments

    We have a network of specialists we work with from ecologists to tree surveyors and drainage strategists to provide the key survey work to support applications.

  • Pre-planning applications

    We compile and submit pre-planning applications for glamping developments large and small as the first step in the process to gaining full permissions.

  • Full planning applications

    We take on all elements of full planning applications ensuring that all communications, surveys, and documents are completed to a high standard ensuring the best chance of success.

Research and consultations

Before you purchase or lease land, it pays to know whether glamping is viable there. Our desk-based research gives you the geographical and policy insight you need to make an informed decision, before you commit.

Pre-planning applications

We produce pre-planning applications for clients to establish initial planning viability before committing to the full application process. This allows us to establish a dialogue with the local authority as well as gaining valuable insights.

Full planning applications

We have extensive experience in preparing full planning applications for glamping developments of all sizes, specialising in projects located in open countryside. We pride ourselves on taking a sensitive, low-impact approach, ensuring that every development respects the rural landscape while meeting planning requirements.

Not every glamping site needs full planning permission

Depending on your land and the type of accommodation you’re planning, you may qualify for a Paragraph 5 exemption licence — a faster route that could save significant time and cost compared to a full application.

Get in touch with our team to find out whether exemption applies to your project, or read more about our exemption licence service.
