Planning That Delivers
CPC takes a bold, commercially-minded approach to planning. Informed by private equity experience, we combine strategic clarity with technical expertise to unlock value where others see risk.
We don’t walk away from complex or challenging sites, in fact, that’s where we excel. Our team brings fresh thinking, sharp judgement and a determination to push projects forward. From stalled permissions to politically sensitive schemes, we provide the insight and resilience needed to deliver results.

How Can We Help?
Planning Appraisals
CPC provides in-depth analysis of local and national planning policy, including a site’s planning history, environmental and physical constraints like flood risk, highways impact, and surrounding context and character. Assessments are conducted remotely or enhanced with on-site visits as needed.
Pre-Application Advice
CPC manages all aspects of the pre-application process, from preparing documentation and submitting to the local authority, to leading engagement, negotiation, and follow-up with stakeholders. We aim to secure clear, constructive advice aligned with project goals and local planning policy.
Planning Applications
CPC provides a full end-to-end planning service, guiding clients from initial concept to securing permission. We prepare and coordinate all required documentation, lead the design process with consultants, and engage with local authorities to deliver the best possible outcome for each project.
Planning Condition Discharge
CPC’s experienced team specialises in navigating and discharging complex planning conditions tied to granted permissions. We work efficiently to minimise delays, enabling clients to proceed confidently with the timely and coordinated start of on-site works while avoiding unnecessary risks or setbacks.
Planning Appeals
If planning permission is refused, CPC uses its experience to manage appeals with clarity and precision. We prepare, submit, and oversee appeals to the Planning Inspectorate, building strong, tailored cases through written representations, hearings, or public inquiries to maximise success.
