AM2 Planning is a Planning Consultancy helping clients deal with matters relating to planning permission.  Established by Andy Meader in July 2021, the company is based near Reading and assists with a variety of projects across the south-east of England and beyond.

Andy started his career as a Planning Officer at Hertsmere Council, dealing with planning applications, appeals and an emerging Local Plan, before moving to the private sector with DLP in 1998.  Initially based in Bedford, Andy then transferred to the DLP Wokingham Office in 2003, before setting up his own practice (AM Planning) in 2005.

In 2007 Andy was approached by Pegasus Group to set up a Thames Valley Office for the national planning and design consultancy and grew that from scratch to a staff of 15 in 2021.  In his role as Senior Director, Andy dealt with a variety of clients including national housebuilders, private landowners, local authorities, food and drink operators and renewable energy providers.

Andy’s background has included many projects in the Green Belt, representing private developers, local authorities and objection groups on the matter through planning applications, appeals and Local Plan submissions.

"Andy has provided us with expert planning input on various projects for over ten years,

including gaining planning permission for our first Solar Farm in 2011, and the most recent in 2021. He always provides honest, practical and effective advice, whether appraising sites before we commit to them, or during the planning application process itself. As a result, we would not hesitate in using AM2 Planning in the future."
