Planning is the life or death of any development. We help to ensure that the planning balance is achieved between policy requirements and commercial realities to achieve viable and sustainable projects. Specialist advice is often needed to inform the application and scope out the information needed. Early engagement can be crucial to success. We take a great deal of time to understand the communities and local authorities that we work with, and the legal and political environments in which we work. Entrust works with diverse teams to engage stakeholders, assemble all the right information and negotiate with statutory bodies, seeking a result that works for all parties. We are very successful at delivering contentious infrastructure consents. We are always open and honest about the best and most likely ways to achieve the necessary consents in a no-surprises environment.

Our highly experienced multi-disciplinary team are recognised experts in their respective specialisms. Our team manage all stages of a proposal; feasibility, survey, planning application submission and project management throughout the planning, EIA and public consultation processes, ensuring we deliver excellent results. We also offer a range of bespoke planning technical services for infrastructure.
