Adam Gostling specialises in guiding complex planning projects from early appraisal through to delivery. He works across challenging planning environments, helping turn constrained or politically sensitive sites into viable development opportunities. With a focus on strategic land and residential-led schemes, he combines clear planning judgment with commercial awareness and a strong understanding of how policy operates in practice.
He has secured permission for a wide range of developments, including large-scale housing, mixed-use proposals, and sites affected by Green Belt and heritage constraints. His work has supported the delivery of hundreds of homes and projects with combined development values in the tens of millions of pounds.
Clients rely on him to simplify policy complexity, identify risk early, and provide realistic, defensible, commercially aligned advice. He focuses on building clear evidence, anticipating objections, and shaping schemes in a way that aligns with both policy and local authority priorities.
As a Chartered Town Planner and Executive Director at hgh Consulting, he advises landowners, developers, and professional teams from site promotion and strategy through to determination and delivery, providing clear, focused advice to achieve workable outcomes.
