Tourism & Leisure

Tourism and leisure development is about creating places people want to visit, experience and return to. From hotels and holiday destinations to visitor attractions, restaurants and leisure facilities, successful schemes need to balance commercial ambition with their setting, local communities and the planning considerations that come with them.

Local knowledge is particularly important in this sector. Our long-standing experience of working with Local Planning Authorities means we understand not only Local Plans and planning policy, but how different authorities approach tourism and leisure development in practice. That insight helps us identify opportunities, anticipate challenges and shape the right strategy from the outset.

We work with owners, operators, developers and investors on new development, expansion and diversification, from early site appraisal and pre-application engagement through to planning applications, changes of use and appeals.

Where landscape, access, amenity, transport or environmental considerations come into play, we bring the planning case together – balancing policy, place and commercial reality to help ambitious ideas become viable destinations.
