About us

Who we are

STAT Planning is an enthusiastic planning consultancy to work both for and with.

We are a dedicated team of planning professionals committed to transforming visions into reality. We partner with clients to navigate complex planning processes and deliver innovative solutions personalised to everyone’s needs. We ensure that every project fosters sustainable development through the social, economic and environmental strands.

We operate at a national level with our office based in the heart of Nottinghamshire. We successfully handle large scale projects alongside simpler, everyday projects with excellent client retention.

As a Practice we are proud of the quality of service we provide to our clients and the longstanding relationships we have nurtured. We achieve this through dedication, teamwork, staff mentoring and creating a fun and energetic working environment. We value every member of our team and ensure everyone is supported to provide an honest, pragmatic and bespoke service to meet the needs of each and every client, no matter the size or value of their project.

Our story

In December 2023, the Managing Director, Kay Carpenter, set up STAT Planning, which has evolved from her successful private consultancy. The STAT Holdings Group has facilitated the growth of the business and provides overarching strategic guidance. The ethos of STAT- Straight Talking and Trustworthy aligns with our core values.

Kay previously set up the Planning Department for a large national property advisory group as the Head of Planning. She not only has expert technical planning knowledge, but with over 28 years’ industry experience, she has strong

commercial acumen and a wealth of practical experience allowing her to negotiate, drive and deliver excellent outcomes.

The team is growing rapidly with our new office established and building the STAT Planning profile within the development industry. The appointments of Jessica Hird as Principal Planner and Mike Downes as a consultant, significantly expanded our skillset and knowledge base.  Sophie Kane has also recently joined us as a Planner and we are supporting her through her Chartership.
