Planning in Brighton and Hove
Brighton and Hove is a city unlike any other - a blend of Regency architecture, vibrant creative industries, and ambitious regeneration. But with its conservation areas, listed buildings, and sensitive coastal setting, development often comes with added complexity.
Our team has handled planning applications across the city for:
- House extensions and annexes
- New dwellings and infill developments
- Conservation area building works and listed building consents
- Guest houses, cafés, retail units, and leisure uses including golf clubs
Whether you’re a homeowner, developer, or business owner, we’ll help you move your project forward with confidence.
