Advice
Planning Your Environment

Good planning enables the creation of quality environments that are great places to live and work. The complicating factor is that everyone has a different idea of what this means in practice.
The planning system is a mechanism for balancing these competing interests for the use and development of land.
LyonCTP provides advice, to a high professional standard, on creating quality environments and navigating the planning system, for clients in the private, public and third sectors.
Helping you to navigate the planning system and ensure your voice is heard.
