About
We are a planning consultancy with a straightforward goal: to help you make well‑informed decisions about your land or building, before you spend time and money on the wrong route. We work across residential, agricultural and small‑scale commercial projects, always with a practical eye on what can actually be achieved.
Our name – Indus Built Planning – comes from the idea that a decision is only sound when it’s built on solid foundations. We spend the time to understand your site thoroughly, then we lay out the options clearly, so you can compare them and choose the one that fits your budget and your life. No jargon, no pressure, just the facts you need.
We are an independent consultancy, not tied to any builder or developer. That independence means our advice is impartial – if your idea is unlikely to work, we’ll tell you why, and we’ll suggest alternatives that might. We’re as comfortable with ‘no’ as we are with ‘yes’, because a bad decision costs more than a fee.
Our work typically covers pre‑application advice, planning submissions, and the detailed comparisons that sit behind them – such as whether to extend or rebuild, whether to seek outline or full permission, or how to handle heritage constraints. We also support you through the application itself, but our core value is in the thinking that comes first.
We have helped homeowners, farmers and small businesses across the UK get their projects moving. What they often say is that we make a complicated process feel manageable, and that our reports are written in plain English – useful at the kitchen table and in the council chamber alike. That’s the level of service we aim for every time.
