Project Management

The extent of our role can be wide ranging depending upon the scale and complexities of the individual projects concerned. We have collectively been involved in managing projects that have delivered small-scale proposals, through to planning permissions for sustainable urban extensions and new communities.

Typically, our role as Project Manager would involve the following key processes:

Working alongside clients and planning consultants to devise the planning strategy;
Managing the project team to ensure outputs meet instructions and client aspirations;
Instructing the consultant team;
Monitoring and managing fees;
Issuing and monitoring planning application programmes;
Managing project team meetings;
Close working relationship with planning consultants and being the key conduit between the consultant team and the client;
Attendance and management of steering group, technical sub-group and liaison group meetings as part of the planning process;
Attendance at public exhibitions;
Reviewing technical findings and providing commercial inputs into key reports, studies, and environmental statements etc. to ensure mitigation strategy/recommendations are commercially realistic and deliverable;
At all times we seek to ensure that what has been proposed within the application seeks to meet the commercial objectives of our clients;
Close liaison with planning and legal officers through the Section 106 process;
Working with planning consultants in negotiating with key stakeholders throughout the process;
Reporting to clients on a regular basis.

Our project management role can be tailored to the individual requirements of the scheme and other members of the consultant team, often acting as extension to the client team.

What some of our clients say

Marston Lane, Doveridge, Derbyshire

Marston Lane, Doveridge, Derbyshire
“We commissioned Hawksmoor to Project Manage a new housing site in a location whose residents were unlikely to welcome further changes to their surroundings. Hawksmoor impressed from the outset with their arguments and foresight for the task and likely issues. Always apparent were Brian Egerton’s strong communications, organisation, knowledge, understanding and technical experience, all supported by boundless motivation, determination and energy.

Throughout the period of the various planning applications, Brian proved to be a persuasive negotiator and tireless researcher, allowing Hawksmoor to recruit and manage relevant project team members to achieve the necessary goals, at all times providing regular feedback on essential items. His competence allowed him to spot and manage difficulties, showing him to be in control and even ahead of the game, thus problems were foreseen, then resolved quickly and confidently.

Above all, Brian’s attention to detail and his frequent contact with the landowners, consultants and authorities, supplying unambiguous and reassuring landowner information, led to a successful outcome in concluding Section 106 Agreement obligations, full planning permission, contract documentation and finally a private treaty land sale to Owl Homes Limited, in often very challenging circumstances.

We would recommend Hawksmoor without reservation.”
