At PER Consulting, we act as a strategic partner for local authorities, government bodies, and private developers, turning complex development issues into bespoke, practical solutions. We pride ourselves on being action-oriented, helping our clients navigate the future with confidence.

Led by Four Decades of Chartered Expertise

Our director, Keith Thomas BSc FRTPI FRICS FRGS, brings over 40 years of high-level experience to every project. As both a Chartered Town Planner and a Chartered Development Surveyor, Keith offers a rare dual perspective that bridges the gap between policy requirements and commercial reality.

Strategic Planning & Economic Growth

Whether you are forming robust planning policies or making the case for new development, we provide the defendable advice you need. Our work is rooted in deep economic research, ensuring that every "place-making" strategy is backed by a credible funding and delivery plan. We help make sense of complexity to steer you along the right path.

Unlocking Regeneration and Funding

• The 5-Case Model: Navigating Green Book appraisals for robust business cases.
• Town Centre Transformation: Driving change from a commercial market perspective.
• Funding Bids: Securing the investment needed to move from vision to reality.
• Strategic Visioning: Taking a long-term perspective of social and market trends.

"We are passionate about making a difference for people, places, and the economy through action-oriented strategic thinking."
