Planning advice that unlocks development opportunities

Town Planning Consultancy

Planning is critical to unlocking successful development. At Enzygo, our planners combine strategic insight, technical expertise and commercially focused advice to help clients unlock development opportunities, reduce project risk, accelerate delivery and secure planning consent.

Planning services that support development from strategy to consent

Working across a wide range of sectors and development types, we support projects from early-stage feasibility, Local Plan promotion and planning strategy through to applications, appeals and project delivery, providing coordinated multidisciplinary support throughout the process.

The right planning strategy can improve project viability, reduce programme risk and accelerate delivery. Our team works with developers, landowners, investors, infrastructure providers and businesses to navigate planning policy, manage stakeholder expectations and secure deliverable outcomes. We help clients maximise development potential while navigating the realities of planning policy and decision-making.

Early-Stage Planning & Strategy

We help clients identify opportunities, assess constraints and shape robust development strategies from the outset.

Our Services include:
• Site appraisals and feasibility reviews
• Strategic planning and policy advice
• Planning strategy development
• Site promotion and strategic land promotion
• Development plan representations

Assess the Opportunity

We become involved early. Through planning feasibility assessments, we help our clients assess portfolios of potential sites. We have developed bespoke site appraisal RAG matrices with our clients to quickly assess land interest for development opportunities, identify planning risk, and target investment decisions to maximise value for our clients on the shortest timescales.

Shape the Strategy

Once a project progresses, our Planning Lead manages the planning strategy and coordinates the technical evidence required to support it. Most importantly, our involvement does not end when the application is submitted.

Secure the Consent

Application preparation is only one part of delivering a consent. Our planners actively manage the determination process: engaging with planning officers, statutory consultees and technical stakeholders; responding to consultation comments; coordinating additional evidence; challenging issues where necessary; negotiating mitigation and conditions; and ensuring that matters capable of resolution do not become unnecessary reasons for refusal. This is where our experienced Planning Consultants add real value.
