# Sharp Howard & Partners LLP
Sharp Howard & Partners LLP is a long-established planning and surveying consultancy with offices in Sevenoaks and Westminster, operating since 1935. The practice specialises in resolving complex planning constraints that intersect legal, administrative, valuation and political dimensions.
The firm distinguishes itself through a distinctive dual qualification structure: all partners hold both Chartered Surveyor and Chartered Town Planner credentials. This combination enables comprehensive advisory capability spanning technical planning assessment through to high-level advocacy and negotiation. The partners remain directly involved from initial consultation through to consent approval, ensuring continuity and accountability throughout the process.
Their client portfolio reflects significant institutional and commercial reach, including multiple Church of England dioceses, major charities such as Cancer Research UK, substantial property developers including St. Modwen Plc, petroleum companies, and private individuals and families. This diversity demonstrates their capacity to navigate varied stakeholder interests and planning circumstances.
Beyond conventional land use planning, the practice has expanded into broader land economy and political considerations affecting development. Their advocacy heritage remains central to their approach—rather than presenting plans and withdrawing, the partners actively champion client interests through the planning system. This engagement model has generated a sustained record of successful outcomes across complex, often contentious development scenarios.
The practice represents a rare fusion of technical planning expertise with sustained client advocacy, positioning them as strategic advisors rather than transactional consultants.
