Bidwells

Introduction & Mission Statement

The Planning Team is a fast expanding part of Bidwells. The landmark projects that we have secured recently demonstrate the ambitious development continuing in the Eastern Region, and our five regional teams are in the best locations to make the most of the massive growth on the horizon. Our fast expansion will provide graduates with fantastic opportunities to be involved with highly experienced planners in one of the largest Planning Teams in the region, who are producing innovative, quality developments in an exciting and growing area.

Just recently we have worked on the large-scale redevelopment of Ipswich Waterfront, and secured seven separate planning applications on behalf of Norwich City Football Club. We are involved with projects on Cambridge Science Park, securing planning permission for the latest 80,000 sq ft addition to this world famous site. On one site in Norwich the Regional Team successfully proved that a planning permission first granted 35 years ago is still valid, providing a case based on extensive research. Our Cambridge Team even had an opportunity to have a bird's eye view of their extensive work when they were flown in a helicopter along with some of their clients to view some of the key sites around the area.

We also work with experts in other professional areas, including architects, surveyors, civil engineers, ecologists and archaeologists, who are often involved in planning projects.


Employment Opportunities

Our primary focus is working on major, large-scale residential, commercial, retail and mixed-use schemes on behalf of a wide portfolio of premium clients.
