Residential

Housing delivery remains a key priority within the Scottish planning system and is central to the ambitions of National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4), which seeks to support the creation of sustainable, liveable and resilient places across Scotland.

NPF4 promotes the delivery of high quality homes in the right locations, encouraging development that contributes to local communities, supports infrastructure and helps meet Scotland's housing needs.

At MFA, we have extensive experience in guiding residential developments through the planning process, from single homes to large scale housing developments and affordable housing projects.  Our track record includes the successful delivery of a wide range of residential schemes on behalf of private clients, landowners, developers, housebuilders and registered social landlords, including numerous projects for Kingdom Housing Association.

We have significant expertise in securing planning permission for new homes in both urban and rural locations, including individual dwellings in the countryside where careful site analysis, design development and planning strategy are often critical to success.  By combining architectural and planning expertise, we help clients identify opportunities, overcome constraints and maximise the potential of their sites.

Our team also acts for landowners and developers in promoting sites through the Local Development Plan process, identifying strategic housing opportunities and supporting the allocation of land for future development.  We provide clear and commercially focused planning advice, informed by a detailed understanding of NPF4, local development plans and the wider policy framework.

In addition, we assist homeowners with extensions, alterations and home improvement projects, delivering sensitive and well designed solutions that enhance existing properties while successfully addressing planning and design considerations.  Whether you are planning a single dwelling, a housing development or an extension to your home, we can provide expert guidance at every stage of the process.
