UK Commercial Planning Specialist Needed

Job ID: 40591262

Budget: £250 – £750 GBP

UK Planning Consultant Required – Full Planning Application (Clay Cross, Derbyshire)
Project
I require an experienced UK Planning Consultant to prepare and submit a full planning application for a proposed development of two flexible commercial units at 8 Thanet Street, Clay Cross, Derbyshire.
I already have concept drawings and a proposed site layout. I am looking for a planning professional to review the proposal, strengthen it where necessary, prepare the planning documentation and manage the application through to submission.
This is not simply a drawing or form-filling exercise.
The Proposal
The current concept includes:
Two commercial units
Mezzanine office accommodation
Roller shutter access
WC and kitchenette facilities
Six parking spaces (including an accessible bay)
EV charging points
Large turning area for vans
New vehicular access
Pedestrian access
Landscaping
Biodiversity enhancements
Sustainable drainage (SuDS)
The concept has been designed around Use Class E(g)(iii). However, I expect the successful consultant to review this and recommend any amendments that would improve the planning application.
The design intent is for the new units to complement the adjoining former public house and fit sympathetically within the surrounding streetscape. If changes to the building's appearance, materials or layout would improve the likelihood of planning approval, I welcome professional recommendations.
What I Need
The successful consultant should:
Review the concept drawings.
Review the site's planning history and relevant planning policies.
Identify any planning risks or constraints.
Recommend improvements where appropriate.
Prepare all documentation required for a valid planning application.
Advise whether any supporting reports are required (Highways, Ecology, Drainage, Noise, Coal Mining, etc.).
Submit the planning application.
Liaise with North East Derbyshire District Council where necessary.
Please Include
When applying, please tell me:
Your experience with UK commercial planning applications.
Any experience with North East Derbyshire District Council or nearby local authorities.
Examples of similar projects you have completed.
Whether you are MRTPI qualified (or equivalent).
Your fixed fee.
Your estimated timescale.
Important
I am looking for a consultant who can add genuine value to this project by reviewing the proposal, identifying any issues before submission and preparing the strongest possible planning application.
Please only apply if you have demonstrable experience with UK planning applications for commercial developments.
