Where award-winning consultants and expert teams help you to redefine your planning service and revolutionise how your local authority delivers.
Why use LWM Planning Services?
The Problem
Local authorities across the country are struggling to recruit experienced planning resource into their teams and are reliant on often expensive consultancies and recruitment agencies .
There is a lack of experienced planners on the market which means councils struggle to recruit talent that makes a difference.
LPAs nationwide are often seeking support resource from the private sector to fill the skills shortage. This increases costs but does not address the problem.
At LWM Planning we are here to help.
Experience delivers success.
