“The education department has used the services of Inception Planning (formerly Griffin Planning Consultancy) since 2010 to provide planning consultancy on all education related development. This has included the building and expansion of new/existing schools in addition to nursery and SEN facilities. In addition, they provide consultancy advice on estimating pupil numbers from new development.

Acting as the go-between with the Local Planning Authority, their input has been invaluable and has helped to ensure that sometimes complicated planning issues have been overcome; helping to ensure projects are delivered. Their knowledge of the planning system and the professionalism with which they approach their work is exceptional. I would highly recommend them.”

“Inception Planning helped us to get outline planning permission for 21 houses on a vacant employment site, despite a lack of support from the local Council and previous refusals. In getting consent, they devised a planning strategy which emphasised the benefits of the development to the local community and focused on the requirements of national policy. This effectively bypassed the Council’s restrictive planning policies.

Following the granting of this permission, they have also helped with finding a buyer for the site and acted on our behalf during complicated negotiations over the land value. I would highly recommend Inception Planning and will look to use their services again in the future.”

“Meadway have been working with Inception for a number of years on a range of complex multi unit projects in London and the Home Counties.  Inception are experts in their field and are extremely responsive.  We would highly recommend their services, no matter how large or small.”
