THE PLANNING

MAZE WITH CONFIDENCE

Getting planning wrong can be costly - wasted time, rejected applications, and missed opportunities.

At The Planning Intermediary, we’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Led by planning expert Thajinder Janda, we support landlords, investors, and property owners through every stage of the planning process - whether you’re converting a home, extending a property, or transforming commercial space into residential property.

With clear advice, thorough research, and hands-on support, we take the stress out of planning so you can move forward with confidence and clarity.

HOW IT WORKS

Initial Planning Appraisal

We start by assessing your site’s potential. Wherever possible, Thajinder prefers to visit in person, but remote reviews can be arranged if needed.

1

Cross-Referencing Your Vision

We align goals with what’s realistically achievable under current council policy and national planning legislation.

3

Local Authority Check

We contact the local authority to understand the specific constraints and planning context for your site.

2

Survey Coordination

We’ll arrange any required surveys (e.g. ecological, highways, flood risk, etc) to support your application.

4

Application Submission

Once all the details are in place, we submit your planning application or certificate request on your behalf.

5

Managing the Decision Process

If the council needs more information or clarification, we handle that and guide you through the next steps.

6

Appeals & Revisions (if needed)

If your application is refused, we’ll either manage an appeal or work with you to revise the proposal in response to the council’s feedback.
