Our business
About us
Boughton Butler brings architectural excellence, planning expertise and development consultancy together. For over 30 years, we’ve specialised in unlocking the potential of challenging development sites and steering ambitious projects through the complex planning process.
Our integrated approach eliminates frustration and inefficiency by providing our clients with access to chartered architects, planners and development consultants under one roof.
Unlike traditional architectural practices, we place planning strategy at the heart of our design process. Our planning-led approach means we design with approval in mind from the outset, increasing your chances of success while creating places of genuine quality and character.
Your journey to successful development begins with us.
Our work
What we do
Our practice offers comprehensive services, from site evaluation and planning strategy to design, application and project management. We excel in rural development, where the local landscape, biodiversity and politics need our nuanced understanding.
From strategic land promotion to self-builds, and major developments to valued community facilities, we navigate the path to planning consent. We build strong relationships with planning authorities to help you navigate the process and bring your vision to life.
Our clients, medium to large-scale property developers and landowners with vision across Worcestershire and beyond, appreciate our straightforward, human approach. We can do the same for you.
Our values
Why we do it
Our brand values drive everything we do. We are:
Collaborative
We work closely with clients, listening carefully to understand your vision and bringing our expertise alongside yours to create stronger outcomes together.
Genuine
We speak plainly about planning realities and possibilities, providing honest advice and transparent guidance throughout your development journey.
Insightful
We draw on a deep understanding of the planning system, rural contexts and local politics to see possibilities and solutions that aren’t immediately obvious to others.
Pragmatic
We balance your ambitious goals with the practical realities, finding achievable solutions that satisfy planning requirements while preserving the essence of your vision.
Purposeful
We focus on creating meaningful developments that positively impact how people live, work and connect.
