Integrated Planning and Development Approvals
The success of your development application is closely tied to how well it aligns with planning policy and good outcomes, as well as its impact on the movement of people and vehicles in the area.
That’s why PSA works across each of these areas – with clear communication and shared objectives – so that your development application has the highest probability of success.
