Smith & Love is a planning consultancy with a difference. We have the same high levels of expert knowledge as a national firm, years of experience and countless contacts. The difference is we’re small in size but big on experience. Based in the North West, we remain close to your project, providing a quality service to national clients. We’ve built our reputation on the strength and depth of our work, results and long-lasting relationships.
Working in partnership through the entire planning journey – providing genuine support and pragmatic advice.
About Us
We guide private and public sector clients through their planning journey, overcoming obstacles, working with local authorities and removing risk. We work as your advocate, delivering planning permission as quickly as possible and on the best available terms.
We persevere to get the right outcome for our clients.
