Planning consultant in Hampshire

DH Planning prepares planning applications and appeals. In Hampshire the local planning authority depends on the site address: most applications go to a district or borough, Southampton and Portsmouth decide their own as unitary councils, and a national park authority decides inside its boundary. Hampshire County Council keeps minerals, waste and county matters. You get a fixed fee in writing before any work starts. We are not the council, and we do not guarantee the outcome.
