Welcome to Gregory Gray Associates

Gregory Gray Associates is an independent Town Planning, Local Government and Development Consultancy which specialises in advising Clients on a wide range of Town Planning matters.

Most developments need planning permission. Chartered Town Planning Consultants are professionally trained and best placed to advise Clients on these matters.

We are a versatile Consultancy providing specialised or general advice tailored to meet your individual requirements on all of the following:

• Planning Applications and negotiations
  
• Land Appraisals, from individual plots to strategic allocations
  
• Lawful Development Certificates
  
• Enforcement
  
• Planning Appeals
  
• Minerals and Waste Planning
  
• Local Development Framework Inquiries and Structure Plan Examinations in Public
  
• Consultancy services to Local Authorities processing planning applications
  
• Consultancy services to Local Authorities conducting appeals and to Government Departments
  

Local authorities have a statutory duty to consider and to appraise all planning applications against their development plans, be they Structure, Unitary Development Plans, Local Plans or Local Development Frameworks. It is important that landowners, be they private individuals, development companies or developers are aware of what the Plans for their area say and how they can influence them.

At Gregory Gray Associates we pride ourselves on our ability to negotiate and obtain permission through the normal application process or where necessary at appeal. Gregory Gray Associates have an enviable track record in obtaining planning permission for a wide range of commercial (i.e. office, industrial, garden centres, nurseries, retail), residential (i.e. housing, flats, affordable and sheltered housing, nursing homes), leisure and community developments as well as in influencing the plan making process to secure allocations for our Clients.

Gregory Gray Associates work closely with related professionals in the development industry particularly architects, highways consultants, landscape architects, ecologists and engineers.
