Planning Consultancy: Shaping Sustainable and Thriving Communities

Expert Planning Advice and Support for Development Projects of All Sizes

Effective planning lays the groundwork for successful, sustainable development. At Egniol, we provide expert advice and hands-on support to help clients navigate the UK planning system, unlock development potential, and create long-term community value. Whether you are working on a major piece of waste infrastructure, housing scheme or a smaller, site-specific proposal, we bring clarity, confidence, and strategy to every stage.

What We Do

Our team works with waste and mineral operators, developers, landowners, and community groups to guide projects from concept to delivery.

We combine deep policy knowledge with practical experience to secure planning approvals, manage risk, and build trust with stakeholders.

Our proficiency extends to:

Planning Applications

Full, Outline, S73, and S96

We prepare and submit planning applications of all types, including full applications, outline applications, Section 73 applications, and Section 96A applications.

We work closely with our clients to understand their proposals and align them with local planning policies and regulations. Our expertise includes preparing planning statements, design and access statements, and other supporting documents.

Planning Appeals

Written Representations, Hearings, and Inquiries

If a planning application is refused, we build strong and compelling planning appeals, including written representations, presenting evidence at hearings, and representing clients at inquiries.

Environmental Statements

Screening, Scoping, and Coordination

Environmental Statements (ES) are often required for development projects that are likely to have significant environmental effects. We lead environmental assessments to understand the potential environmental impacts of our client’s projects, developing measures that minimise those impacts.

This includes drainage and flood risk assessments, ground condition assessments, air quality assessments, noise assessments, ecology assessments, and other environmental assessments.

Community Engagement

Consultation, Workshops, and Presentations

Our community engagement services provide expert support for consulting with local communities and stakeholders.

This includes organising public consultation events, facilitating workshops, and delivering presentations to gather feedback and address concerns. We plan, manage, and deliver engagement strategies that bring communities into the process.
