Planning By Design Reviews 

I would recommend Planning By Design
The whole team was very helpful and I basically understood everything about the project because they took the time to explain everything that I needed to know they were very patient with me and very professional

I would definitely recommend Planning By Design for anyone with a building project in mind.From the very start with the phone calls.Every one is so helpful kind and lovely to speak to.I was so looking forward to designing my new side extension with them ut unfortunately I hit a problem with the drains in our gardens Unfortunately I couldn't go ahead with the project It took a little while for me to get the water board in my area to come up have a look.Planning By Design gave me time with this not pushy or anything.Im just so upset I wasn't able to go ahead with my project as the price digging up and moving all outside pipes would cost to much as they were in the way of new extension.I would highly recommend Planning By Design so helpful and they explain everything to you so clearly from the start what they do for you and are so friendly.

Very helpful & professional team. Excellent service and quality work. I will definitely recommend Planning by Design and will use them again in future.

we are really pleased with the way planning by design helped us get approval for our extension, the drawings were very detailed, they kept us informed all the time.we would/will recommend them to others.first class service. mike &mel Rushton

Reasonably hassel free, kept me updated, and responded promptly to any queries I had

Planning by design took all of the pressure off my shoulder during the feasibility study planning process. Abigail responded quickly with the quote, and Ellie provided advice and guidance on planning, development, and restrictions for new build, so helpful throughout, taking time to answer all the questions we had. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

I recently contacted Planning by Design for an initial consultation regarding a drop kerb application, and I couldn't be more impressed with their service. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process.

They took the time to explain the requirements, potential challenges, and the necessary steps involved, making what seemed like a daunting process feel much more manageable. Their expertise and clear advice gave me confidence moving forward with my application.

If you're looking for a company that provides detailed planning insights with a friendly and efficient approach, I highly recommend Planning by Design. A fantastic experience from start to finish!

Excellent throughout, clear and concise instructions with realistic time lines. Communication was great, small amendments to plans and advice was sought at varying stages all of which was no problem to the team. Would highly recommend to anyone especially those with no experience in planning and drawings the whole process was very easy and they got the outcome we wanted thanks to all the team

The team at Planning By Design were incredible helpful, from Cara's first interaction with me, to my planning appraisal consultation with Aaron and follow ups. Because of their work and knowledge, I was able to make a correct and educated decision regarding my business. I would definitely use Planning By Design again, should the opportunity arise.
I also learnt a lot from Aaron for any future projects for business expansion, and what I need to look into regarding land and registered uses. Thank you so much for all your help!

We contact planning by design to ascertain whether it was feasible to convert our garage into a multipurpose room. From the initial enquiry the whole team has been professional. we initially applied for a lawful development certificate but sadly it was declined due to a obscure rule that our planner Ellie advised shouldn't have affected us due to them using the wrong facing highway. This was ofcourse dissapointing but Ellie provided us with a few alternatives explaining each options merits. unfortunately when our planning permission was reviewed it was identified that there were some discrepancies to the councils records and ours from the previous homeowner. (Ellie was very supportive when we had a wobble). Ellie liased with the council and being so knowledgeable managed to get them to approve our planning application with a minimal delay

Excellent service, friendly team whose happy to assist with all your enquiries, promptly and effectively.

Highly recommend! Smooth process from start to finish. Everyone is so helpful and always so quick with responses.

A great firm. With all whom work there and on our conservatory project inputting quality time and expertise. Help us over come some hurdles with our local planning department.

My partner and I were looking to see the feasibility of building on some farmland. We hadn't heard of anything like a feasibility report before but when we came across Planning by Design on Google.

I filled out all the requirements and had a chat to make sure we were all on the same page. Once we submitted our planning ideas to them they came back with a report that the surveyor talked us through over the phone.

Unfortunately due to the location of the land the project we were looking at wasn't feasible. They explained why, what the problems were and any loop-holes or work arounds that might have been possible as well as future plans.

They also came up with an alternative idea of converting an existing barn and how this could be navigated with the current legislation and the likelihood of success.

We didn't want to go with this idea but we were incredibly happy that we didn't have to spend £5-600 with the council to get the same answer as planning by design for 1/5th of that.

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great communication. Very pleased with their service.

We contacted Planning By Design to support us with a retrospective planning application having converted part of our garage into a internal utility room. From initial contact, to submitting the application, to receiving planning approval, they were incredibly professional, kept us fully informed at every stage, and made the whole process very easy for us. We would highly recommend Planning By Design to anyone looking for planning advice and support.

This company came across as very experienced and knowledgeable, they were very helpful and answered all questions thoroughly

Great Job got my planning permission without any issues Great communication

Well what can I say ,but brilliant!!! Very easy to work with all departments in the company,very fast and efficient experience, thank you kim who stays as a permanent source and not being passed around different people when ever you contact them.

I recently worked with Planning by Design on a double garage conversion project. They were extremely competent and offered great advice. However, what I was most impressed by was their speed. They turned around the drawing, planning documents extremely quickly. Vey happy to recommend them and will use them again if required. I only wish the council were as efficient!

We had great support from the beginning to the end of submitting a proposal for planning permission. A defined strategy, design and heritage statements prepared by a qualified town planner, architect drawings and ongoing liaison between our planner and the local authority. The service was very good value for money
