Harvey Planning Consulting provides commercially robust and transparent town planning services, backed by extensive international experience across all development sectors within the UK and Australian property markets.
Get in TouchHarvey Planning Consulting is a boutique international town planning consultancy with origins from rural Queensland, Australia. It was founded in 2000 by industry veteran, Ernie Harvey, before expanding over to the UK under the purview of Harrison Harvey.
Our approach combines technical strategy with creative thinking to deliver innovative and commercially driven planning solutions. HPC understands and appreciates the unique challenges and opportunities of the planning and regulatory system and can help navigate this environment.
We work closely with property developers, landowners, architects, local authorities, communities, and multidisciplinary project teams to deliver functional and sustainable development outcomes that meet the project brief.
Our broad project portfolio spans small-scale residential and commercial proposals to complex Green Belt developments, major residential masterplans, mixed-use developments and industrial logistics and manufacturing facilities. We’ve also been involved in managing applications for various location-based feature film sets across the UK.
We offer comprehensive planning consultancy services tailored to meet the specific needs of each project.
Expert assistance with preparing, lodging and project managing planning applications through to a decision, including negotiating with the local planning authority.
Preparing a written enquiry and/or attending a meeting with the local planning authority to ascertain the acceptability of development and understand key planning issues
Advising on permitted development rights and how to go about complying with the relevant planning criteria to qualify for permitted development (including lodging certificate of lawfulness and prior approval applications)
Pull together formal grounds of appeal in rebuttal to local planning authority decisions and lodge and project manage the planning appeal process.
Providing commercially robust and transparent site appraisals and planning advice prior to acquiring a site. This will help determine project viability, planning risks, and formulate a clear development strategy for maximising development potential and yield.
Preparing technical written representations in objection to inappropriate development schemes (e.g. that would result in an overdevelopment of a site).
Dealing with the local planning authority on enforcement cases where there has been a breach of a planning control. This usually involves lodging a retrospective planning application or appealing enforcement notices.
Promoting land suitable for future urban development through the local plan making process and formulating positive well-reasoned justification for allocation or re-zoning.
