We were really impressed by 4D planning. They were very helpful and crucially secured the permission we needed!
Outstanding service organising planning permission, negotiating with the council planning department and making adjustments to plans with no extra charge.
We will be hiring them again.
A real pleasure being assisted by Eli and Darragh of 4D for our annexe conversion. Took the headache away from what is often a painful process. Aside from the first telephone chat everything else was easily handled online and we were kept suitably updated throughout the process. Would easily recommend using them again.

We hired Elie and his team for to file a roof extension pre application with the council. The application resulted in clear feedback from the council.
Elie and his team worked in a collaborative manner and were responsive. Pricing of Planning 4D was also reasonable
Elie and his team were so fantastic from start to finish - super responsive, efficient and helpful. They gave such great advice on everything from the design that would give us the best chance of success to how to deal with objections and when to chase the planning officer. And in the end all of their work paid off as we were successful in our application. We are so pleased to have found 4d planning and will definitely work with them again in the future. Thank you Elie!
4Dplanning was very helpful, professional in helping us through the planning process.
Absolutely fantastic advice, super helpful. Very quick responses and help when faced with planning challenges. Friendly, clear, considerate and accurate. Would totally recommend.
very helpful team, quick and efficient
helped not just with planning and submission of application but also with appeal process, until victorious end
Elie was really helpful when we were struggling to fill our planning permission forms and understand which drawings were requested. He chased the application until it was approved!

4D Planning helped us complete a technically complicated planning application which required expertise of the confusing local authority rules with meticulous attention to detail. This saved us time and money and helped remove the stress on a complex renovation project. I would happily recommend their service.

4D planning did some drawings and volume calculations for us. I was amazed with the speed these guys done the work. Elie was always replying to my emails same or next day, sometimes even outside of working hours. Very pleased with their work and experience overall. Will definitely use them again and would highly recommend to all my friends.
After hitting several 'Road Blocks' with my own efforts in dealing with the local council, I enlisted the help of Elie and his team at 4D Planning.
They did all the heavy lifting and complex application forms, and kept me in the loop at every turn; allowing me to get on with what I do best and leave this to the professionals.
Elie & 4D were great at dealing with a tricky planning situation. Smart, professional and very good at their job. What more do you need.

My application for primarliy a rear and side extension in LBWF was refused. The reasons stated were unreasonable and failed to look at the application 'from outside of the box'.
I consulted with Darragh and Elie and I received a prompt and clear response - confirming that the decision should be appealed. I chose 4D Planning following the reviews I read on Trust Pilot and am very glad that I did. I received notice today that my appeal application has been successful on all points.
They are what they say they are - professional, experienced, prompt in dealing with any queries and confident in their servcies.
I have no hesitation in recommending them for residential appeals. This part of the process was well handled and removed a great level of stress from me. Lastly - their fees have been extremely reasonable.
Thank you to you both - and I can't wait to start on the next phase!

Elie has been a great help for us. He has been very responsive and dedicated.
My partner and I called many planning consultants who were not able to help but thanks to Elie, we manage to get the answers we needed to go ahead with the sale of our house.
Prompt and helpful free advice given regarding the need and circumstances surrounding obtaining planning permission for our flat roof terrace. Thank you! :)
We engaged Elie and his team to design and submit drawings for planning permission to Lambeth Council. Elie was quick to respond and saw the process through from beginning to end smoothly.
Would recommend for side return/extension plans.
