PLANNING SURGERY
INTRODUCTIONS
Our planning surgery is a face to face meeting with our planning consultant in Haslemere, Surrey to discuss what you would like to do with your home, land, commercial property or listed building.
The meeting will take around 45 minutes and if you can’t make it in person, we can always talk with you on a Teams call where we can share screens and discuss your ideas in detail.
WHAT IS THE PLANNING SURGERY
The Planning Surgery in Haslemere provides an opportunity to discuss whether your ideas are likely to achieve planning and puts your mind at ease that if you start the process of archirtectural designs and planning submissions that you stand a good chance of planning success.
WHO IS IT FOR
Whether you are a homeowner, property developer or architectural designer with a tricky project that has been refused, we bring over 20 years of experience and more than 500 planning applications submitted and managed.
WHAT DO I GET
At the end of the meeting, you will leave with a better knowledge of the planning system and how it affects you and your property. You will leave with a clear view on what you should do next and in what order. You will receive an email giving you details of the local and national policies affecting your site. But most of all you will leave with the confidence to either move forwards with your ideas or change them slightly.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING
If you already have plans that's great but not vital. When you book the surgery we will ask for your address and will have already completed some preliminary research on your property before you arrive — so just bring yourselves and your ideas and we can work from there. Some photographs or estate agent's details can help visualise your property.
WHERE DO YOU WORK
We handle everything to do with your planning application, anticipate objections and negotiate on your behalf for a successful outcome.
To ensure a seamless transition to the next phase and avoid any potential delays, we proactively prepare for the upcoming steps during the 12-week planning phase while the case officers evaluate our application.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST
Our flat fee of £95 plus VAT for the surgery provides a cost effective option to explore your initial planning options. Following the surgery, if further investigations or a full planning feasibility study is recommended, we will provide you with a free, no obligation fee proposal to look closer at your ideas and advise on everything that you will need to ensure you maximise your chances of planning success.
HOW DO I BOOK
PLANNING SURGERY FOR WAVERLEY AND ACROSS THREE COUNTIES
Every authority interprets national policy differently.
Waverley is preparing a new Local Plan. The South Downs National Park Authority is reviewing its 2019 Local Plan. East Hampshire said in May 2026 that it would not submit a new local plan by the government's December 2026 deadline, and it is due to become part of a new Mid Hampshire council in 2028.
The same extension can be straightforward in one district and contentious next door. Knowing which policies apply to your site, and which are about to change, is often the difference between approval and refusal.
Our planning surgery covers Waverley, Chichester, Arun, East Hampshire, Guildford and the South Downs National Park.
