KG PLANNING LTD.

KG PLANNING

KG Planning Ltd is an independent, chartered town planning consultancy that provides clear, honest and professional advice to companies and individuals across the North West.

Cost effective advice and services are provided with regards to all aspects of planning and development matters.

Director – Kate Grimshaw BSc (Hons), MTPl, MRTPI

I am a chartered town planner with 30 years of planning experience gained from both the public and private sectors.

I established KG Planning Ltd 10 years ago and during that time I have built up strong relationships with individuals from other related disciplines and with the Local Planning Authorities that I have worked with across the region.

I have been involved in a wide range of projects in both the commercial and residential sectors., from complex, large scale schemes to smaller, sensitive residential sites in the Green Belt.

As a sole practitioner, I listen carefully, think strategically from the outset and translate policy and legislation into clear guidance, in order to ensure the best outcome for my clients.

I am a Chartered member of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) which means that I act under the regulations and ethical guidelines of the RTPI and the Code of Professional Conduct.

PLANNING SERVICES

If you’re working on a project and you want assistance, then the services I offer may be of interest.  I can help bring structure and forward momentum to your proposal.

I utilise my 30 years’ experience to navigate the planning system, which can feel overly complicated and slow, to offer honest advice which is technically robust and commercially grounded.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

My hourly rate is £90 (VAT not payable)

Initial appraisals are charged for at this rate, on a time charge basis. Once a route forward is agreed, a fixed fee can usually be provided if this is preferred over the hourly rate.

Fixed fees cover the work up to validation by the Local Planning Authority. It does not cover lengthy communication during the assessment of applications, the discharge of any conditions or the submission of an appeal, should the application not be successful.

  • WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY...

    KG Planning successfully achieved planning approval for our chimney extension. After a 30 minute initial chat she was able to take the task off my desk and see it through to a conclusion. This meant I didn't have to learn the detail of the planning process. Kate was proactive in her approach and whilst she kept me updated of progress she used her initiative and took the lead. Her organised, thorough and professional approach meant she solved my "problem" and I would be delighted for her to represent us again.

  • WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY...

    We would like to thank you for the way you handled our planning applications - Permission in Principle and Technical Details Consent. Very professional and we would recommend you to anyone looking to build their dream home.
