BUILT SMART TOWN PLANNING
Town Planning
Planning that connects to certification
Our Town Planning division covers the approval-pathway end of your project: exempt development advice, full-service planning advice, Development Application preparation and Statements of Environmental Effects – connected directly to our certification team, so nothing is lost between consent and construction.
SEO/AI under the hood (amended per review actions 2 & R4): exact-match H1 restored per audit 2.1 – the personality line survives as the subhead · URL /services/certification/ per the audit keyword map · meta description: “Principal Certifier Appointment, Construction & Occupation Certificates and Complying Development (CDC) from one specialist, ISO 9001-certified team – approval to occupation.” (adopted from Option 1’s written set) · the “Quick Answer” block is deliberately extractable – it’s the sentence we want ChatGPT/Gemini/AI Overviews to quote · FAQPage + Service schema · 800+ words at full build · division-coded breadcrumb.
Four planning services
Each one is a standalone specialist offering:
- Exempt Development Advice – confirmation, in writing, whether your works need approval at all
- Full Service Planning Advice – feasibility, controls analysis and pathway strategy, end to end
- Development Application Preparation – DAs prepared, lodged and managed to determination
- Statements of Environmental Effects – the document every DA needs, written properly
Where planning meets certification
Most planning consultancies hand you a consent and disappear. Because we’re also registered certifiers, our planning advice is framed around what happens after consent – CDC vs DA pathway calls, conditions you can actually build under, and a clean handover to certification.
Every engagement runs through our quality system – consistent documentation, tracked turnarounds, nothing dropped.
