Planning

Planning has become much more complex over recent years, and its reach has been considerably extended. It is now a key factor in all transactions involving land and buildings, and the difference in value between a good planning permission and a bad one - or no permission at all - can be considerable.

We have a team of more than 150 planners - including environmental, sustainability, urban design and community engagement experts - operating from 21 offices around the United Kingdom.

Our people have up-to-date knowledge of evolving policy and practice, and considerable experience in building the case for planning permission to be granted and the skills to communicate effectively with planning decision-makers and stakeholders. Furthermore we thrive on the commercial awareness that comes with the constant interaction with Savills professionals who are active in the world's marketplaces.
