The Advisory Team for Large Applications (ATLAS) is a service available to Local Planning Authorities and their partners to assist them in bringing large scale, complex and strategically significant projects through the planning system. It is a service funded by the Department of Communities and Local Government but hosted and delivered through English Partnerships (soon to become the Homes & Communities Agency).
The ATLAS team contains a blend of planners with other technical specialists in areas such as urban design, transport, social infrastructure and environmental sustainability with dedicated staff operating from Milton Keynes, Birmingham, Ashford and Bristol.. This website embodies our philosophy and will be useful to all involved across the planning & development communities.
