Essential Planning Ltd is an independent consultancy providing environmental and social planning advice to a range of clients throughout Europe, the Middle East and Australasia including:

• private and public sector organisations
• utility companies and regulators
• private sector developers
• infrastructure providers including energy and transport sector organisations
• non government organisations and community groups

We believe that understanding and planning effectively for the environmental and social aspects of a project or policy initiative is as critical to its success as other design or business drivers.  We work with architects, engineers, economic advisers, technical experts and other specialists where needed, to ensure well-rounded advice to clients.
