Some of our other servcies that can help you achieve your development aspirations:

General Planning and Development Advice

Landowners and developers may be unaware of the development opportunities that may exist in a particular plot of land.  Also, buildings may be unused or unwanted and a change of use may provide a new lease of life.  Bowen Planning is willing to discuss the possibilities without any obligation.

Bowen Planning is committed to ensuring high quality development through good and innovative design and the efficient use of land and building resources.  In all the work undertaken, opportunities will be explored for employing energy conservation measures and the use of renewable energy technology.  Such measures are now required by most local planning authorities.

Site Appraisals

A Site Appraisal may follow on from the discussion of development opportunities or as part of the submission of a planning application.  It will normally involve a site visit, an examination of the Council’s plans and policies and other relevant information to ascertain whether there are any factors that may affect development, for example, the site may lie within an area of flood risk.

Bowen Planning will prepare an objective report and, where it is considered there is potential for development, recommend a way forward.

Leisure and Recreation Planning

This is a specialist service provided by Bowen Planning.

People are retiring earlier and living longer which means that the demand for leisure and recreation activities is on the increase.  Making suitable provision in terms of sites and buildings is not easy as often such activities are in competition with other more profitable uses of land.  Furthermore, recreation and leisure developments are inclined to be more sensitive to their surroundings making it important that there is a good match between the type of activity and site characteristics if a successful outcome is to be achieved.

Bowen Planning can put forward suggestions and offer advice that will assist investors in recreation and leisure facilities.
