Planning-led design
Architectural, planning and development consultancy
Planning problems holding you back? There’s a smarter way to get your development built.
How we can help you
Your development journey starts here
You’ve got an ambitious vision for your development. But the thought of navigating the planning maze keeps you up at night. We get it. We’ve watched too many projects fail because developers approached planning as an afterthought rather than the foundation.
Here’s what makes us different. For over 30 years, Boughton Butler has brought architecture, planning and development consultancy together under one roof.
No more juggling multiple consultants who don’t talk to each other. No more designs that look beautiful but can’t get approved. Just one integrated, chartered team focused on getting your project built. We specialise in the tricky stuff – rural developments, challenging sites and projects others say can’t be done.
From strategic land promotion to community facilities, we’ve navigated the complexities of planning across Worcestershire and beyond. Your vision matters to us. We can help you make it a reality.
How we unlock your site’s potential
Our services
Our integrated approach means we spot opportunities and solve problems before they become expensive mistakes. Our core services work together seamlessly to eliminate the friction that derails so many developments. They include:
Planning consultancy
Our chartered planners know what gets approved and what doesn’t. We’ll guide you through the maze of local policies, handle the politics and build the relationships that matter. From initial feasibility through to appeals, we speak planning fluently.
Architectural services
Beautiful design means nothing if it can’t get built. Our chartered architects design with planning in mind from day one, creating places that enhance communities while satisfying the authorities. We balance ambition with pragmatism to deliver buildings that work.
Development consultancy
Maximising your site’s potential starts with understanding what’s possible. We identify opportunities, assess viability, and create strategies that balance your commercial goals with the realities of planning. From finding suitable sites to selling your development, we’re your strategic partner.
Working with Boughton & Butler and especially Dan Stiff was one of the best decisions we made. Dan blends visionary creativity with calm precision, making the entire process feel effortless. He listened intently, challenged thoughtfully, and delivered a design that’s not only beautiful but perfectly aligned with how we live. Exceptionally talented, deeply professional and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish.
