When a project needs photomontages, wireframes or verified views, or planning and architectural support beyond our remit, we introduce you directly to a partner who knows the work and shares our way of doing things — no commission, no upselling, no opaque fee chains.

Planning By Design

A leading planning and design consultancy covering England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland — and the partner we turn to first for architectural design, planning consultancy and visualisation work.

What they do

  • Architectural design — concept to detailed drawings, BIM modelling for design visualisation
  • Planning permission — full planning application support, householder to major schemes
  • Pre-planning advice — feasibility, site appraisal, planning strategy
  • Permitted development — class assessments and lawful development certificates
  • Building Regulations — full BReg drawings and submissions
  • Structural engineering — calculations and design
  • Photomontages, wireframes and verified views — high-quality landscape visualisations to support our LVIA and TVIA work

Why we work with them

Planning By Design has a portfolio of over 900 successful project approvals and has been recognised as IE100 Architectural & Planning Consultancy of the Year 2025 and Corporate LiveWire Architecture Firm of the Year 2024/25. Their visualisation work is among the most consistent and rigorous we've seen, and they take the same evidence-based approach to planning advice that we take to landscape and visual evidence. They are honest with clients about feasibility — which is what we look for in any partner.

Where they cover

National coverage across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
