about us

Evolve Planning is a clear-sighted consultancy that seeks to offer professional and honest advice with a friendly and personable approach. 

We advise on all aspects of urban and rural planning, including strategic land promotion and rural diversification, supporting the submission and project management of a wide range of planning applications across the country, as well as providing evidence for appeals. 

Driven to achieve successful outcomes by assisting in the delivery of proposals that work for clients, developers and the environment, we’re passionate to see increasingly sustainable urban and rural environments created through the delivery of high quality development that address the challenges of today.

The company has formed strong links with Local Planning Authorities, architects, and technical consultants and can bring together project teams for proposals to then take through the planning process.

Our team has over 30 years of experience in providing town planning advice to developers, landowners, promoters and individuals on a wide range of proposals.
