PETER D KYTE ASSOCIATES

PDK ASSOCIATES has built up its town planning consultancy over a nineteen year period. The practice undertakes planning feasibilities, the submission and negotiation of planning applications and planning appeals UK wide, including expert witnessing at public inquiries. It has broad experience across the residential, business, leisure and retail sectors.

A fundamental part of the success of the practice has been in giving positive advice on the design and layout of schemes. Our planning-design-value approach has seen many successes on difficult, marginal and complex development projects. Examples from our TRACK RECORD can be looked at on this website.

In 1993, PDK ASSOCIATES changed the practice’s working strategy by focusing on two development sectors – cinemas/restaurants/leisure and social housing. This led to a series of successful projects, including a 66,000 sq.ft. cinema and restaurant complex in Wood Green, North London, an 8 screen multiplex cinema in Nuneaton, a series of schemes for City Centre Restaurants and a programme of social housing schemes for Ujima Housing Association.

For Ujima, two schemes of a very high density secured a significant number of dwellings in Lambeth. Our practice went on to negotiate a run of schemes for them, assisting their role as ‘HA key partner’ status in that Borough.

Since 2001, our extensive experience in project management to planning stage has broadened to include the strategic management of a large pipeline of planning projects. Larger clients have included UCI CINEMAS, LLOYDS BANK, UJIMA HOUSING ASSOCIATION, CITY CENTRE RESTAURANTS, MEPC and MOORFIELD ESTATES.

Between 2002 and 2003 a stable of 7 architectural practices was brought together and managed by PDK for a property investor/developer, involving assessing for development a portfolio of circa. 800 sites.

The resulting series of planning applications were submitted and negotiated by ourselves through one in-house channel (as opposed to fragmented management by separate architects). This led to consistency in design quality, strong negotiating platforms for schemes, more positive scheme presentations and better scheme positioning. Please see the Residential Development Schemes cases examples under TRACK RECORD.

We have also undertaken appeal work for local councils and have acted for many individuals and community groups in addressing objections to planning schemes and enforcement problems.

We have responded to the creation of the SPATIAL PLANNING SYSTEM and the issues of CLIMATE CHANGE and GLOBAL WARMING. We now provide a set of SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, which sit alongside our PLANNING CONSULTANCY SERVICES.

Please also see PROJECT TYPES for more information.

CONSULTANCY SERVICES
We pride ourselves in giving our clients an efficient and effective service.

Nearly twenty years of experience in the planning sector has resulted in a deep understanding of negotiation dynamics, with the use of positive methods to communicate schemes to local councils. Using well tested negotiation methods, the practice has turned many difficult and marginal schemes into planning application successes.

We will look at your initial scheme or your under-utilised land and/or buildings and undertake a planning feasibility assessment. Our work also includes adopting development strategies for each scheme, to maximise the chances of success.

Initial PLANNING and SUSTAINABILITY advice on projects, including proposed design changes and LOCAL CONSULTATIONS, are followed by presentations and negotiations with the Council concerned. The scheme is “positioned” so that its strengths are highlighted, thus ensuring that it gets over the planning hurdle. An 'easy' planning permission with a smooth passage is always our aim .

Our work can also include consultant coordination and development pipeline management of large property portfolios.

If a scheme fails at planning stage, we progress planning appeals UK wide by written representations, informal hearing and public inquiry.

For some examples of our work see the TRACK RECORD section of this website. PROJECT TYPES and PLANNING CONSULTANCY SERVICES will also help to demonstrate our experience, but please do not hesitate to CONTACT us should you require any further information.
