What we do
Our Services
Expert planning consultancy for developers, landowners, and businesses — guiding projects from initial appraisal through to approval.
Planning expertise you can rely on
Momentum Planning provides specialist town planning consultancy across a wide range of project types — from straightforward householder applications to complex residential developments, commercial schemes, and heritage-sensitive proposals.
We work closely with clients to understand their objectives, identify the most appropriate planning strategy, and deliver results. Whether you are a developer, landowner, or business, we bring the expertise and tenacity to navigate the planning system on your behalf.
Planning Applications
We prepare and manage planning applications of all types and scales — from full and outline applications to householder works, listed building consent, and change of use. We coordinate with architects, consultants, and local authorities to build a compelling case and maximise the prospects of a successful outcome.
- Residential developments
- Commercial and mixed-use schemes
- Heritage and listed building consent
- Change of use applications
Planning Appeals
Where planning permission has been refused or conditions are unreasonable, we advise on the merits of an appeal and manage the process from start to finish. We have experience across written representations, hearings, and public inquiries, and will provide an honest assessment of prospects before proceeding.
- Written representations
- Hearings and public inquiries
- Enforcement notice appeals
- Costs applications
Pre-Application Advice
Early engagement with the local planning authority can save significant time and cost. We advise on the planning merits of a proposal before submission, identify potential issues, and engage with officers on your behalf to shape a scheme that stands the best chance of approval.
- Site appraisals and feasibility assessments
- Pre-application meetings with local authorities
- Planning policy review
- Development potential advice
Permitted Development
Many development types can be carried out without a full planning application under permitted development rights. We advise on whether your proposals qualify, manage prior approval applications where required, and help you make the most of the flexibilities available under the General Permitted Development Order.
- Prior approval applications
- Upward extensions and conversions
- Change of use under Class MA, Class O, and Class Q
- Lawful development certificates
