Despite recent Government pronouncements and legislative changes the Town and Country Planning system remains highly complex, with ever-changing legislation and requirements for assessing development proposals. The need for specialist planning advice has never been so important. The system for obtaining planning permission to unlock development opportunities is fraught with difficulties and obstacles.

We can make developments a reality, whether they are large or small.

If you are unfortunate enough to have an application refused, we can advise you on whether there are grounds for appeal. One of the advantages of coming to Synergy for your planning requirements is that we can also advise on design and draw up plans for you. It is this connection between design and planning work that proves so successful; time and time again we produce designs with the best chance of success in planning, leading to our enviable "right first time" record that saves you time and money. 
 For individuals and home owners one of the best ways to increase the value of your property is to obtain planning consent for alternative uses to extend. Turning land from low-value commercial or derelict use into residential, for example, can provide a comfortable retirement or a tidy profit. And by coming to Synergy you can be assured that not only will we advise you on maximising the value, we can also find you a buyer through our residential estate agency or commercial agency services!
