Unrivalled local expertise

We have a very defined area of operation that encompasses West Sussex, Surrey and East Hampshire and our local expertise is unrivalled. We have worked closely with the planning departments in the different local authorities for years; we know their track record and understand their vision, which means we are best placed to advise on achievable plans.

In recent years we have provided planning services to notable clients including PLC housebuilders Barratt/David Wilson Homes and the West Sussex County Council’s Estate Team. We have also helped private landowners to secure planning permission for their own unique homes on Rural Exception Sites (Paragraph 17 homes) and to deliver small schemes of much needed Affordable Housing.

"The Henry Adams Development and Land Team, have always acted with complete professionalism and integrity. By creating excellent working relationships with all parties involved in each land transaction the Henry Adams team enables open communication to take place when the inevitable unforeseen twists and turns of the planning system occur. As a result of this the transactions I have been involved in have either already reached successful outcomes for all parties or are heading in that direction."
