Who We Are

We are led by two Directors, Justin Mills and Karen Crowder-James, who are both chartered town planners and jointly have over 50 years experience in the commercial planning sector. 

Prior to establishing Contour in 2010, both Directors held senior positions in large planning practices and multi-disciplinary property consultancies.

In addition to our full range of services, we excel at giving a quick and straightforward answer to the question we are most frequently asked Am I going to get planning permission and if so, how?

Whatever the type of service our clients are looking for,
we offer the following commitment on all projects:

  1. Bespoke approach to each individual project

  2. Cost effective planning solutions

  3. Work undertaken on time and within budget

  4. Every project managed by a Director

We also offer our clients and co-consultants complimentary planning update seminars.

What we believe in

Transparency

We are your partner in all aspects of planning. We value your project as if it were our own. We are team players you can trust to deliver your project.

Proactiveness

We work with you to navigate the pitfalls and problems and 90% of the time we succeed first time - even in a difficult and political climate!

Teamwork

Every project has Director level involvement, but we know success needs team work. We trust our team to help deliver and we actively encourage and nurture them.
