Planning consultant Lincolnshire
Planning consultants for land and development in Lincolnshire.
Independent, commercially aware planning consultancy for landowners, developers, businesses and private clients across Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. Advice on development potential, planning applications and appeals, with suitable projects also considered across England.
Professional insight
Start with the decision your site or project needs.
Planning advice is most valuable when it connects policy and local context to a real decision: whether to pursue a site, how to shape a proposal, what evidence to commission, or how to respond to a refusal. Tenon provides a clear initial route before unnecessary cost builds up.

Where we work
Planning advice for Spalding, South Holland and wider Lincolnshire.
Tenon supports suitable projects across Lincoln, Boston, East Lindsey, West Lindsey, North Kesteven, South Kesteven, South Holland, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.
We also support suitable projects in neighbouring Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. Each enquiry is reviewed against the relevant planning authority, development plan, site history and material considerations.
The initial review identifies whether the instruction can be handled proportionately as desk-based work and when a site visit or specialist input may be required. Broader suitable work is also undertaken across the East Midlands and England.
Who we help
Advice shaped around ownership, risk and timing.
Landowners may need a realistic view before promotion or disposal. Developers and housebuilders may need to test principle, developable area and evidence. Purchasers and investors may need planning due diligence before exchange. Private clients may need to understand a refusal or a difficult small site.
Tenon does not assume that an application or appeal is always the right next spend. The recommendation can be to proceed, investigate, redesign, negotiate, resubmit or step away.
Common questions
Clear answers before you begin.
What does a planning consultant do?
A planning consultant interprets planning policy, site history, material considerations and evidence, then recommends the most appropriate route for a land or development decision. The scope may include appraisal, strategy, application support or an appeal.
Which parts of Lincolnshire does Tenon cover?
Tenon considers suitable work across the Lincolnshire county, district and unitary authority areas, including Lincoln, Boston, East Lindsey, West Lindsey, North Kesteven, South Kesteven, South Holland, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.
Does Tenon cover Cambridgeshire and Norfolk?
Yes. Tenon considers suitable projects across Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, including development potential reviews, planning applications and appeals. We assess each enquiry against the site, relevant planning authority and current policy context, and confirm whether a site visit or specialist input is needed.
Can Tenon assess a site before I buy it?
Yes. A Development Potential Review can identify the initial planning position, material risks, likely evidence and recommended next step before significant commitment. It does not replace legal, valuation or later specialist advice.
Can Tenon help after planning permission is refused?
Yes. The first step is an independent Planning Appeal Appraisal, which compares appeal with redesign, negotiation, resubmission or another route.
