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.
We prepare, submit and negotiate planning applications of all types.
