About Roseland Planning
Roseland Planning is a small, independent planning consultancy based on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall. Because we’re small, we offer a genuinely personal, tailored service — independent, approachable and focused entirely on what you need. Being a new consultancy, we bring a fresh approach and a positive, cheerful outlook, backed by deep experience.
We provide specialist planning, affordable housing and development advice across Cornwall and the South West, combining technical expertise with a practical, problem‑solving mindset.
About Chris
I’m Chris, a qualified town planner with a Masters in Spatial Planning and over 18 years’ experience across planning policy, development management, affordable housing, viability and housing delivery — most recently here in beautiful Cornwall.
I’ve worked on both sides of the planning system: determining applications for local authorities and preparing and submitting applications for developers, architects, landowners and community groups. I’ve delivered new‑build housing schemes, secured Homes England funding, negotiated S106 agreements, led viability reviews and supported community‑led housing groups. That breadth of experience means I understand the planning process from every angle — policy, politics, delivery and viability — and how to balance commercial, economic, social and environmental considerations.
Whatever your project, I bring specialist knowledge, a can‑do attitude and a calm, down‑to‑earth approach to maximise your chances of success and ensure planning doesn’t become a barrier to what you want to achieve.
