Oliver Fytche-Taylor
Managing Director
From our HQ in the heart of Burton Waters marina close to the beautiful cathedral City of Lincoln, we offer a range of planning consultancy, architectural design and construction support services for all types of development.
Our key areas of expertise are providing specialist planning and development advice, preparing planning applications, detailed site appraisals, plus architectural designs for all forms of residential, commercial, leisure, equestrian and agricultural developments. The open and collaborative approach that underpins our company has firmly established our reputation for providing reliable and accurate planning advice.
With our extensive in-house planning consultancy and hands-on practical experience in the delivery of new developments and capital works schemes, we specialise in offering landowners, developers and investors a true appraisal of the development potential of their land to identify development options and achieve positive outcomes.
Our multi-disciplined team work with a diverse client base that includes businesses, housebuilders, landowners, homeowners, property developers, architects, sports venues (and more!) to obtain planning permission, offer cost-effective design solutions, promote or purchase sites for development, handle planning appeals and provide expert Planning Consultant and on-site construction advice for any stage of a project.
We are also somewhat unique in understanding the needs of our clients like no other local consultants, because in addition to our planning consultant services, Fytche-Taylor have built award-winning homes and several of our team have completed unique self-builds too! Whilst we work on far more than solely residential projects, this experience offers an unrivalled understanding of the construction sector, ensuring that our services fully align and combine with the needs of our clients and the local market conditions.
During the construction phases we can provide a range of essential support services too, including; cost plans, tendering, on-site advice and handling Building Control applications to ensure Building Regulations compliance.
Our professional Planning Consultancy services include partnering with local architects, undertaking Planning Appeals and giving advice directly to Local Government and community groups, including for Parish Councils and Neighbourhood Plan Groups.
Fytche-Taylor Planning & Design is led by Managing Director Oliver Fytche-Taylor. Oliver has worked locally in senior management roles in both local government and the private sector for over 20 years, including as Head of Planning for LPA's in Lincolnshire. Combined with our industry leading in-house construction experts, architectural designers, legal and environmental specialists we hold more than 60 years in the industry between us - all of which contributes to our extraordinary success rate in achieving planning permission for our clients.

Read more about our unique approach...
We are specialist planning, architectural design and development consultants with an exceptional track record of success in securing planning permission for all types and sizes of building projects.
From our HQ in the heart of Burton Waters Marina, close to the beautiful cathedral City of Lincoln, we offer a range of planning consultancy and architecture services to suit all types of development and budgets, including residential, house extensions, commercial, agricultural and leisure projects. During construction we can assist with building plans, tender packs and building regulation applications too.
If you need planning permission or professional advice then get in touch or take a look around this website to see more about our projects and 5* reviews.
Being property developers too, our unique approach and range of hands-on support services is very positively received by our select client base, particularly where we work closely with landowners to devise the most suitable approach for a proposed development project and identify the best returns on their land assets. Our ambitious yet realistic approach, recognising the likely planning opportunities and constraints, is designed to maximise success and realise the best potential land values.
In doing so, we have firmly established a trusting reputation with our clients and have helped many of them avoid the high costs involved in pursuing less appropriate (or, in some cases, totally unsuitable!) schemes. In practice this means that sometimes we can’t tell landowners what they perhaps wanted to hear, but the positive client feedback we have received supports our firm belief that overall it is more important to be frank about the opportunities and risks involved in any project in order to develop honest and open working relationships.
Alongside our planning consultancy services we also sell development plots (with planning permission) and build exclusive individual family homes that offer a bespoke design and unrivalled quality - always using local trades and specialist craftsman. Fytche-Taylor Planning Ltd are registered property developers and full Members of the LABC Warranty Scheme. This means that all of our construction work is fully compliant with the Consumer Code for Home Builders and the LABC New Homes Scheme. We also specialise in working directly with select local landowners and developers to promote or purchase sites for development and deliver a range of professional planning consultancy and design support.
A selection of our recent clients...
We offer in-house architectural design for all construction projects, including post-planning support to ensure full building regulation compliance and assistance with building control applications too. Our services are bespoke to each project; some clients will have already appointed an architect, and that’s fine too.
We also regularly work in collaboration with a range of local architects and architectural designers and so where an architect is already on-board, we’re very happy to work alongside them and provide support on the planning side only.
