Why use Neagle Planning?​
​​Neagle Planning offers clients the rare combination of national consultancy experience with the personal service of an independent planning advisor.
​
Founded by Oliver Neagle, a chartered town planner with over a decade of experience at leading national planning consultancies, Neagle Planning provides clear, strategic, and commercially focused planning advice across Oxfordshire, London, and the South of England. Oliver has advised major developers, institutional landowners, universities, homeowners, the UK Government, and public bodies on complex and high-profile projects.
​
This background brings a detailed understanding of how significant schemes are structured, assessed and determined in practice, within local authorities, by elected Members and at appeal, alongside a clear appreciation of commercial drivers, programme, and delivery risk.
​
Unlike a large consultancy model, where work is often delegated across teams and junior staff, Neagle Planning delivers a direct, consistent, and bespoke service, led personally from start to finish.
​
In short, National Consultancy Experience, Personal & Bespoke Advice.​​​
​​​​What this means for you​​
​
Clear, consistent advice throughout
You work with one senior advisor from the outset. This avoids mixed messages, duplicated work, and loss of momentum, giving you clarity and confidence at every stage of the planning process.
Decisions shaped around your site and objectives
Advice is tailored to the specific planning, policy, and commercial context of your project.
Strategies are shaped around how your proposal will be assessed in reality, not generic, or formulaic approaches.
Faster progress and better use of your budget
By identifying the real planning issues early, you avoid abortive design work, unnecessary technical studies, and late-stage changes. This helps keep your project moving and protects both programme and viability.
Reduced planning risk at critical moments
Planning outcomes are influenced by judgement, not just policy. Advice is shaped by how officers, Members and Inspectors assess proposals in practice, enabling key issues to be identified early and risk managed proactively.
Big-practice thinking without big-practice overheads
You benefit from the rigour, credibility, and strategic thinking of a national consultancy background, without the bureaucracy, delegation or cost associated with large firms.
Honest advice, given early
Where a proposal is unlikely to succeed, this is made clear at the outset. This allows you to refine your objectives or pursue alternative strategies before considerable time and cost are committed.
Personal accountability
Every instruction is led personally. You know exactly who is advising you, who is accountable for the strategy and who stands behind the advice.
