About us
Your extended team of planning, permitting and consenting experts
Strategic direction,hands-on execution
To move a major project efficiently and reliably from concept, to consent, arms-length strategic support is rarely enough. You need the vision of a consultant; the flexibility of a strategist and the hands-on commitment of an embedded team member.
We provide all three.
We’re a small team of experts with a full-time focus on complex planning, permitting and consenting projects in your sector.
Our unique delivery style gives you the best of both worlds: the pooled brainpower of our strategy team, channelled to you through a single, named point of contact embedded in your project.
Our clients enjoy the hands-on support and buy-in you’d expect from a team member; combined with the clarity of vision you’d expect from a specialist consultancy.

Meet our founder, Fiona Campbell: qualified planning professional, natural problem solver, and passionate advocate for net zero in the global battle against climate change.
After honing her professional experience and problem solving skills in a range of senior roles across the public and private sectors, Fiona founded Plan A to bring her talent and drive to bear in a setting that aligns with her own sustainability values: playing her part to accelerate the drive towards net zero and beyond.
As demand for her unique blend of embedded support and expert strategic consultancy grew, Fiona built a small team of RTPI-qualified professionals: working together to tackle climate change by supporting more clean-energy projects into development, faster.
Fiona’s leadership and vision have seen Plan A evolve into one of the most respected planning and environmental consultancies serving the UK and Ireland, supporting major projects including Codling Wind Park, Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm, Aberdeen Offshore Wind Farm amongst many others
