At BPS we work on projects in all areas of the economy, from small residential extensions to domestic to large scale commercial developments.
Residential development planning consultancy services
BPS has wide ranging experience in the residential sector from securing significant land use re-zoning for residential use, to being involved in planning applications for small, medium to large residential developments. We work with many architectural and engineering practices and can provide advice on applicable local authority planning policies, transport planning policies, urban design requirements and all relevant government guidance relating to residential development.
Commercial and/or office developments planning consultancy services
BPS has significant project experience of the commercial and/or office sector particularly within the Greater Dublin Area. We can provide valuable planning advice from the outset of the project to maximise the development potential of sites for office and/or commercial development. Our role would include leading consultations with the planning authority, managing and coordinating the inputs of the various design team members, whilst advising of all relevant Development Plan policies and objectives.
Retail planning consultancy services and Retail Impact Assessments
BPS offers retail planning consultancy services across Ireland. BPS has significant experience in delivering private sector retail developments. We have been involved in multiple retail schemes mostly in Leinster. These include town centre developments, district centres, neighbourhood centres, retail warehouse developments, supermarkets, and standard retail units.
When planning permission is sought for retail developments, such proposals are often required to supply a Retail Impact Assessment. We have prepared retail studies in respect of these developments.
Industrial developments – planning consultancy services
BPS has extensive experience with a wide range of industrial, light industrial, enterprise, warehousing, data storage, industrial estates, logistics parks, distribution centres and factories on green field, brown field and infill sites, and other related development projects.
We have an extensive portfolio of successfully completed projects nationwide, but with a focus on the four Dublin Region local authorities. The role of BPS in such projects includes leading consultations with the planning authority, managing and coordinating the inputs of the various design team members, whilst advising of all relevant Development Plan policies and objectives.
Our experience with industrial planning has included planning applications, further information submissions, accompanying reports and appeals.
Local authority & public sector development – planning consultancy services
BPS has worked on a wide range of local authority and public sector planning applications including flood prevention schemes, road schemes, rail schemes, housing schemes, cycle way schemes, etc.
These types of developments have their own planning processes set out in the planning regulations called as Part 8 and Part 9 developments.
We have also worked for adjoining residents and communities who wish to voice their concerns in respect of such developments.
Sport/leisure/recreation schemes – planning consultancy services
