Philosophy

Cam Planning is an independent planning and environmental consultancy providing expert advice on a wide range of planning and environmental matters.

We pride ourselves on the quality of advice offered, and the outcomes achieved on behalf of clients.  We work closely with you to ensure we understand what is required and, importantly, with stakeholders, third parties and decision makers too, to maximise chances of success.

We recognise that each project is unique and requires a tailored approach – we don’t adopt a standard template.  We will devise a cost-effective strategy, take a proactive approach and give you honest, reliable advice.
