Small Planning Consultancy of the Year Winner
Lawson Planning Partnership Ltd
LPP’s success in delivering an exemplary service is reliant on collective capability, effective communication, and an ability to take on board the views of others and to adapt wherever possible and where needed. Career opportunities are offered to those without planning experience, creating several ‘home grown’ planners, adding to the strength of the Practice and Profession. LPP is also a ‘giving’ consultancy, which forges links with and supports local communities, whilst raising awareness of planning more widely.
Finally, making sustainable development happen through collaboration, dedication, and simple hard work remains at the heart of LPP’s mission.
