What we do
Strategic planning advice that gets schemes consented
Navigating the UK planning system requires strategic thinking, technical knowledge and persistence. MI&A’s planning consultants help landowners, developers, contractors and end-users secure the permissions they need to deliver successful schemes — from initial site appraisals and outline applications through to discharge of conditions and post-consent compliance.
We work across residential, commercial and mixed-use developments throughout London and the wider UK, engaging with local planning authorities, statutory consultees and the GLA where required. Our approach is collaborative and pragmatic: we map the planning context up front, identify the right strategy, and steer the application through to decision — keeping risk and cost firmly under control.
