Welcome to Landmark Planning 

Landmark Planning is a specialist town planning consultancy based in Leicester, working across the Midlands.

Planning is about more than just securing permission. It is about achieving the right development in the right place, at the right time. What distinguishes the best advice is not simply the outcome, but how it is achieved: efficiently, strategically and with clarity on cost and risk from the outset.

We focus on pragmatic, commercially aware solutions.  Our aim is to create positive outcomes for all parties  — not a system of winners and losers.

We believe in negotiation, not confrontation, collaboration over conflict, and adding value at every stage of the process.

What We Do  

Based in Leicester, our work is undertaken in (but not limited to) the Midlands, East Anglia, London and Yorkshire. Support is provided on a broad range of schemes, from smaller local applications and changes of use to larger residential, commercial and heritage-led developments. Clients include commercial and residential developers, public bodies, private individuals, and other professional service firms.

Planning Appeals

If planning permission is refused, or conditions are unreasonable, we can advise on the best way forward and prepare a clear, focused appeal case. We support clients through the appeals process with practical advice, strong planning arguments and a strategy aimed at maximising the chances of a successful outcome.

Independent Google Reviews

"Having worked with Landmark Planning before, I had no hesitation in turning to them for help on a recent project involving amendments to approved plans. Initially, we assumed a full resubmission would be necessary. However, after consulting with Harry at Landmark Planning, we learned that an amendment to the existing approval could be pursued instead—saving time, effort, and cost compared to a complete resubmission."

''We worked with Landmark Planning to seek permission from the local authority to paint a community mural on a building that required planning authorisation. The team were fantastic - they were swift, providing us with careful guidance and supported us with a successful planning application. Definitely recommend getting in touch with them if you need help.''
