Promotion and Policy

Representing land interests through the planning system

Securing site allocations and influencing planning policy takes foresight, technical understanding, and strategic advocacy. Marrons’ planners work with developers, promoters, and landowners to promote land through local plans and represent their interests at every stage of policy formation.

Our goal is simple – to achieve allocations and planning frameworks that unlock development potential, enhance value, and pave the way for deliverable, commercially viable projects.

Site promotion and allocation

We prepare and manage comprehensive site promotion strategies for residential, commercial, and mixed-use land. From initial call-for-sites submissions to appearing at local plan examinations, our planners ensure that the right technical evidence, policy arguments, and representations are in place to support allocation.

Site promotion • Development plan representations • Neighbourhood plan submissions • Call-for-sites and local plan engagement • Site evidence base coordination

Policy monitoring and representation

We continuously monitor emerging policy across local planning authorities to help clients anticipate change and respond effectively. Our team drafts detailed written representations, appears at hearings, and liaise with policy officers to ensure our clients’ interests are understood and defended.

Local plan monitoring • Policy analysis and submissions • Public examination representation • Defensive planning strategies and objections

National and strategic infrastructure

Our experience extends to promoting land and interests affected by strategic infrastructure and national policy projects. We advise on Development Consent Orders (DCOs), coordinate technical assessments, and work with stakeholders to ensure proposals are consistent with regional growth priorities and planning frameworks.

DCO support • Environmental impact assessments • Landscape and visual impact assessments • Healthcare and retail impact assessments • Flood risk sequential tests
