OUR INVOLVEMENT

Gravis Planning provided planning and strategic communications support to achieve permission for this high-quality residential development in Lurgan.

We were asked to engage and consult with local community and political representatives to obtain support for the planning application and expedite it through the planning system.

Our work included managing the planning application from pre-application stage (including statutory Pre-Application Community Consultation) through to the planning committee.

Gravis Planning prepared the planning application and ensured its progress through the planning system providing advice on a range of planning related issues including key site requirements, traffic and residential amenity.

The project was approved unanimously by Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council Planning Committee.
