Surrey County Council appointed LUC as planning consultants for their ambitious £354 million school expansion programme.

This programme aims to create over 16,000 new school places by 2018 through expansion and replacement of existing schools.

LUC's planning expertise ensures high-quality and timely applications, navigating sensitive locations and maximising the programme's impact on communities.

We've secured planning permission for the new Chart Wood School and extensions to St Bede's School, while advising on ten schools to date.

LUC's role involved strategic planning and securing planning approvals for this large-scale programme. 

We collaborated with the client team to ensure effective project evaluation and high-quality application submissions, considering the unique challenges of each school site.

Our team's extensive ecological and heritage expertise is a valuable asset to this programme.

LUC ensures developments meet environmental and heritage requirements while creating modern, sustainable schools for Surrey's students.
