Expert Planning Advice Across the East of England and Beyond
Meadows is a small, independent planning consultancy based in Norwich, Norfolk, providing specialist planning advice and land development services across the East of England, neighbouring counties and further afield.
Our principal geographical focus covers Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Hertfordshire, although we also undertake suitable projects throughout the rest of England and Wales.
Unlike larger consultancies, Meadows offers a personal, director-led service. Every project is managed directly by one of our experienced Planning Directors, each with over 20 years of professional planning experience.
We work with landowners, developers, businesses, farmers, estates and individuals, providing specialist advice on planning applications, appeals, development opportunities, changes of use and other planning matters.
Wherever your site is located, you receive the same personal service and direct access to our experienced Planning Directors.

A Personal, Director-Led Planning Consultancy
Regardless of your site's location, you will deal directly with one of our experienced Planning Directors.
We do not operate a network of separate regional offices or freelance planning consultants. Meadows is one specialist consultancy, providing consistent professional advice and direct director involvement throughout each instruction.
Our approach combines extensive planning experience, detailed policy knowledge and practical, commercially focused advice.
We undertake projects of different types and sizes, from individual dwellings and changes of use to substantial residential, commercial and mixed-use developments.
