Progress Planning is a bespoke town planning consultancy owned and operated by Pippa and Chris Gardner offering personal, targeted and effective advice drawing from their experience working in the industry over a period of nearly 18 years. Both Pippa and Chris have an impressive track record in private practise throughout the UK advising clients nationwide on planning strategy, delivering consents and driving development successfully through the statutory planning process.
Progress has a proven track record in delivering consents, using the experience and expertise gained within the wider industry, to deliver successful outcomes and results for clients, adding value to property by securing consents or land allocations or developing planning strategies which are viable and realistic, and which critically are deliverable.
Client satisfaction is key, and working in partnership with both our clients and their wider teams is central to our service provision and ethos. Creating strong relationships with clients that are honest and effective is a key strength. Taking time to understand both the economic and personal drivers of a project help us to tailor our approach to individual client needs.
Engaging with Local Councils /Authorities and creating strong relationships with key officers is also a core strength and one which enables us to better understand how to deliver best results for clients whilst reducing conflict and unnecessary delay. The provision of honest, clear and direct advice for each client is the basis of all projects, and ensures the delivery of a first class service for all.
