Savills boasts London's largest planning team after LPP buy.
The takeover, which completed last week, follows on-off discussions over the past two years.
London Planning Practice's 16 planning specialists have moved into Savills offices at Lansdowne House in Berkeley Square, W1, creating a 60-strong London planning team.
LPP, an independent planning consultancy, was founded in 2003 by Nick de Lotbiniere and Jon Dingle. Clients include Harrods, Minerva, Northacre and Finchatton.
De Lotbiniere, who will head Savills central London operation, said: "This is a great opportunity to blend our capabilities with those of the existing Savills planning team."
Roger Hepher, national head of Savills planning division, added: "The acquisition of the London Planning Practice enables us to have a greater focus in the West End and City, and creates the largest planning consultancy within any of the capital's major property advisory firms."
The London planning team at Savills is working on the Arsenal regeneration area in north London, the redevelopment of Waterloo on the South Bank, a number of developments associated with the Olympics in east London and the Bermondsey Spa regeneration area.
