Delivering Success Since 1997
For nearly three decades, we've been providing independent planning advice across England. Trust is earned through results, and our success is defined by yours—which is why we retain so many long-standing clients.
​
What We Do
We specialise in all aspects of town planning, with particular expertise in:
​
-
Residential developments – from individual plots to major estates
-
Holiday parks and tourism projects – static parks, touring sites, and holiday resorts
-
Commercial development – business and retail schemes
Our services span initial site appraisals to planning appeals and Environmental Impact Assessments, covering projects from individual plots to multi-million-pound developments.

Who We Are
Wheatman Planning was established in 1997 by Simon Wheatman, a Chartered Town Planner (member of the Royal Town Planning Institute). Our approach is grounded in extensive experience from local government planning departments, giving a unique insight into how planning authorities operate.​
​
Simon has acted as moderator and speaker at various industry conferences, contributed to local BBC radio on planning matters, and co-founded the RTPI's East of England Planning Aid Service in the late 1980s.​
​
Whilst we focus exclusively on planning advice, we've built a trusted network of specialist consultants—including archaeologists, ecologists, sustainability experts, and highway engineers—whom we engage for more complex projects.​
As we move into 2026, we have residential schemes in progress with a combined Gross Development Value of £120 million.
