What We Do
Town & Country Resources Limited provides a broad range of specialist planning consultancy services. The practice acts for landowners and developers of property, providing asset management advice to maximise asset value, advising on strategic land use management and securing planning permissions.
This regularly entails the promotion of policy changes and preparation of land use zoning submissions to City or County Development Plans or Town Local Area Plans in order to secure zonings or development plan objectives to align with a client’s strategic objectives.
Town & Country Resources Limited undertakes site development appraisals and feasibility studies which comprise a detailed and informed assessment of a site’s capacity or a project’s potential as a first step in the planning process. This is a key step in establishing the viability of a site or project. From this, planning strategies to maximise the chance of a successful planning outcome are devised.
Delivering planning permissions and approvals for projects across all sectors of development is a key competency of the practice. This entails co-ordination, preparation and submission of planning applications for every scale and complexity of project. Each project and site has individual requirements and Town & Country Resources Limited has the expertise to develop a planning strategy to achieve the objectives of each planning application.
Pre-application consultation which entails formal engagement with the planning authority at an early stage in the application preparation process is a key stage in the application process. Town & Country Resources Limited believes that active and effective communication with the Planning Authority at an early stage will provide a clear strategy as to the way forward and result in a more predictable outcome.
We have extensive experience of working as key members of project design teams, co-ordinating the inputs of other team members to a successful outcome. We are competent in the preparation of a broad range of planning reports to support a planning application (such as the Planning Statement, Environmental Impact Assessment Reports, Appropriate Assessment Screening, Social Infrastructure Audits, School and Childcare Demand Assessments, Residential Amenity Reports).
We have considerable experience in the preparation of first party planning appeals and responses to An Bord Pleanála including providing expert witness advice at Oral Hearings.
