The new UK planning regime requires additional vigilance to safeguard Clients
interests and to ensure potential development opportunities are identified
and promoted at the optimum stage in the planning process.

To achieve this Acorn undertakes:

- Pre-application consultations
- Liaison with statutory and non-statutory consultees
- Preparation of planning applications
- Representations to Committee
- Applications for Certificates of Lawful Use and change of use
- Preparation of Design and Access statements
- Negotiation of planning obligations conditions and Section 106
and Section 278 agreements
- Compliance monitoring
- Planning Appeals for refusal non-determination and enforcement

Site and Major Project Support

Local Development Frameworks are very different from the Local Plans they
replace. Developers will only be successful if they have expert support to
lobby and engage the new planning system. Acorn offer a range of support
including agency, negotiation, and preparation of supporting documents.
