Heaton Planning

Heatons are a client focused, professional planning consultancy operating across the UK with offices in Nottinghamshire, Lancashire and Shropshire.

The Planning Consultancy consists of professional Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) accredited town planners. Heaton Planning has extensive experience in planning for housing, employment and commercial uses as well as other forms of development including, the built heritage and natural environment, minerals and waste, including those developments requiring Environmental Impact Assessment and the preparation of Environmental Statements.

We are town planners with substantial experience in both the private and public sector, providing a professional planning service to a range of companies, as well as providing professional planning advice to a number of planning authorities in the East Midlands area and beyond.

We are client focused, providing clear advice and seeking to secure our client’s aspirations wherever possible. Our approach is based on a sound understanding of the town and country planning system and the proper application of planning policy and the Town and Country Planning Acts.

We adopt a rigorous approach to project management and the use of specialist consultants, particularly for the management and preparation of Environmental Impact Assessments. Heaton Planning is not tied to any one firm of consultants / specialists. We carefully assemble project teams depending on the detailed requirements of a particular project and in close liaison with our clients.

We are committed to ensuring positive outcomes on planning applications and development proposals, and seek to achieve this through negotiations with planning authorities and interested parties, liaison with legal advisors and advice to clients regarding planning conditions and legal agreements. We seek to maintain good working relationships with key organisations in the planning system and are members of the Royal Town Planning Institute and British Aggregates Association.
