Arrow Planning

Arrow Planning is a mid-sized consultancy of twelve people that has grown from a team of eight over the past year without compromising quality, culture, or client service. Based in Buckinghamshire, the practice holds itself to an elite standard across every project, from complex renewable energy and net-zero proposals to high-profile enforcement appeals and landmark film studio planning permissions. Recognised as a Disability Confident Employer and holding Silver CSR accreditation, Arrow invests in its people, its communities, and the profession, whilst inspiring the next generation of planners and shaping places that leave a lasting, positive legacy.

Arrow Planning is a values-driven and increasingly mature consultancy that demonstrates a strong commitment to high-quality, climate-conscious planning through the delivery of sustainable developments, including renewable energy and social housing schemes.

The judges were impressed by the firm's outstanding client satisfaction, innovative and inclusive community engagement, and proactive approach to knowledge sharing, including educational outreach and international lecturing.
The judges particularly praised the firm's investment in its people through comprehensive staff development and coaching, alongside its strong culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. While opportunities were identified to provide more tangible evidence of inclusive planning, equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) initiatives, proactive engagement with local planning authorities, and innovative problem-solving outcomes, the overall submission presented a compelling case for a well-led business that places equal emphasis on its people, clients, communities, and the advancement of the planning profession.

Congratulations to Arrow Planning.
