Civitas are based in Chester and we operate across the United Kingdom. We largely represent the interests of private individuals and companies, but have also previously undertaken work on behalf of Local Planning Authorities and have assisted community groups in how to best represent their interests in the planning context.
​
We regularly undertake work in a wide range of planning issues including residential matters, householder proposals, mixed use projects, rural and agricultural developments and minerals and waste planning.
​
The planning process can at times be complex and requires the input of a number of professional consultants on varying matters, for example ecologists, highways engineers and environmental consultants. We can advise you on the likely input required to move your proposal forward and can assist by placing you in contact with reputable consultants in each field, or by managing this on your behalf.
​
We would be happy to discuss your planning proposals or planning issues with you and provide you with some initial advice on how to move forward and the likely costs involved, so please do get in contact with us on the telephone number below or via email.
