What Euan Kellie Property Solutions does

Euan Kellie Property Solutions is a commercial town planning consultancy established in 2009 and headquartered at Neo, 9 Charlotte Street, Manchester. The firm advises developers, housing associations, and local authorities on navigating the UK town planning process, delivering five integrated service modules: Planning Appraisals and Strategy Reports, Pre-Application Engagement with Local Planning Authorities, Planning Statements, Environmental Impact Assessments managed under the 2011 EIA Regulations, and end-to-end Planning Project Management. It is regulated by RICS and operates primarily across the North West of England with additional instructions elsewhere in the UK, including work with 21 local authorities from Cornwall to Lancashire in 2025.

The business is a privately held, founder-led partnership. Co-founders Euan Kellie and Kelly Paddick serve as Company Directors alongside Director Ellie Philcox, Associate Director James Ketley, Office Manager Donna Paddick, and Planning Consultant Gillian Worden. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project professional services basis with no publicly disclosed pricing; the firm submitted 76 planning applications in 2025, supported 15 new clients, and promoted 1,242 affordable homes across its housing portfolio. Customers span residential developers (Keepmoat Homes, Kellen Homes, Forshaw), housing associations (Great Places, Sanctuary Affordable Housing, Homes for Trafford), local authorities (Salford City Council among others), student accommodation providers (X1 Developments), hospitality (Salboy), sports (Chester Football Club), and nonprofit clients (Dogs4Rescue, Embassy Village).

The firm competes on personal service, director-level involvement from inception to completion, and senior-team credentials including prior roles at Deloitte Real Estate, BDP, and UK local authorities. Marketing is content-led through the company blog, the Flashback Fridays series, the EK Unlocked content stream, newsletters, LinkedIn presence, attendance at MIPIM in Cannes, and a 2026 photographic exhibition with Material Source. There is no external investment, parent company, or subsidiary structure; ownership is concentrated with the founding directors.

Direct peers

• Lichfields: One of the UK's largest independent town planning consultancies, offering planning strategy, EIA, and development advice across residential, commercial, and regeneration projects. Directly comparable in service mix and client base, though significantly larger and more geographically diversified than EKPS.
• Boyer (Boyer Planning): UK-focused town planning consultancy providing planning applications, appeals, EIA, and strategic advice to housebuilders, developers, and housing associations. Closely matches EKPS's horizontal segmentation and professional services model.
• Rolfe Judd Planning: London-based planning consultancy providing planning applications, appeals, and development consultancy to residential and mixed-use developers. Comparable boutique-scale practice with similar planning-led service model.
• Planning Potential: Independent UK planning consultancy offering planning applications, appeals, strategic land promotion, and EIA coordination to developers and landowners. Comparable boutique-scale planning practice with similar client mix.
• Nexus Planning: UK planning consultancy with a focus on residential development, strategic land, and regeneration, serving national housebuilders and land promoters. Similar professional services model and development-focused client base.
• Tetlow King Planning: Independent planning consultancy providing planning advice, EIA coordination, and strategic planning to housebuilders, housing associations, and the public sector. Comparable in scale and service offering, with similar affordable housing specialism.

Broad incumbents

• Bidwells: UK property consultancy with planning and development advisory across residential, commercial, and rural sectors. Comparable in residential development client base and planning-led approach, though broader in scope.
• Avison Young (UK): Global real estate advisory with a UK planning practice covering strategic planning, development consulting, and EIA for major commercial and residential schemes. Significantly larger, with multi-disciplinary integration that EKPS lacks.
• Carter Jonas: National UK property consultancy offering planning, surveying, and advisory services including planning applications, EIA, and development consultancy. Much larger scale and broader service portfolio but with overlapping planning practice.
• CBRE (UK Planning): Global real estate services firm with a UK development advisory and planning practice serving major housebuilders, REITs, and institutional investors. Multiple EKPS alumni came from this kind of multi-disciplinary environment (Deloitte Real Estate), making it a relevant incumbent comparison.
