What We Do

Planning Applications

We prepare and manage planning applications from start to finish, ensuring all necessary documents, plans, and statements are submitted to the Local Planning Authority. Drawing on our in-depth knowledge of planning regulations and local policy, we aim to present your proposal in the best light, increasing your chances of securing permission without unnecessary delays.

Site Appraisals

Tywi Planning Services provides comprehensive planning appraisals to assess the viability of development proposals. Our service involves a thorough review of planning policy, site constraints, and potential opportunities to deliver clear, expert advice on the likelihood of obtaining planning permission. This enables clients to make informed decisions early in the project, helping to minimise risks and streamline the development process.

Listed Building Advice

Developing or altering a listed building requires careful consideration to preserve its historic and architectural value. We provide expert guidance on what is permissible, help prepare listed building consent applications, and liaise with conservation officers. Our advice ensures your project respects the building’s heritage while meeting your needs.

Pre-Application Consultations

Pre-application consultations provide an opportunity to discuss your ideas with the Local Planning Authority before submitting a formal application. We guide you through this process, helping to refine your proposals, address potential issues early, and improve your likelihood of success. This step can save both time and money by ensuring your application is well-prepared from the outset.

Agricultural Developments

We assist farmers and rural landowners with a wide range of agricultural planning matters, from new buildings and extensions to diversification projects. We understand the specific policies affecting agricultural land and can help you navigate the system to achieve your business goals while complying with planning requirements.

Planning Appeals

If your planning application has been refused, we can help you challenge the decision through the planning appeals process. We review the reasons for refusal, prepare strong evidence-based arguments, and represent your case to the relevant authorities. Our goal is to give you the best possible chance of overturning an unfavourable decision.

Enforcement Notices

Receiving an enforcement notice can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be the end of your development ambitions. We advise on the most effective response to enforcement action, whether that involves negotiating with the Local Planning Authority, applying for retrospective permission, or lodging an appeal. We work to protect your interests and minimise potential penalties.

Certificate of Lawfulness Applications

Tywi Planning Services prepares and submits Certificates of Lawfulness to confirm whether an existing or proposed use or development is lawful. This provides clarity on the planning status of a property, helping to reduce risk and avoid potential enforcement issues.
