The Rural Planning Co Reviews 36

We can’t recommend Hannah and her team enough. They went above and beyond to ensure we got our planning permission on the first attempt. She covered all bases so that any questions the Council might have asked had already been covered.
Hannah is always approachable, helpful and available to advise. She answers phone calls and e-mails promptly. Hannah is extremely knowledgeable and liaises well with anybody necessary.
What stood out above all else was the understanding Hannah had for what we were trying to achieve and why, she understands farming and what comes with that.

My experience with the team at The Rural Planning Company has been really good. From the beginning a clear plan of action was laid out which helped. Case officer Sally made sure every angle was covered in the planning statement before the application was presented. Time lines were very important with this project and when the planners came back with a positive result without any quibbles. I would definitely recommend The Rural Planning Company

Real experts in agricultural planning for diversification. Delighted with the result and the hands on approach

Very professional, organised and dealt with all my requirements very smoothly.

Professional, uncomplicated and a pleasure to do business with.

The planning consultant working with us made the process simple by providing us with the required information and regular updates as the project progressed. We would recommend and use them next time for sure.

After meeting representatives of The Rural Planning Co a number of years ago, I knew I wanted to work with them to realise my vision of a holiday let in the form of a Shepherd Hut. From initial enquires to the success of achieving Full Planning Permission I have found the team to be professional, experienced and highly skilled. Communication has been extremely good and I have been updated throughout the process. Sally Moore shared our enthusiasm for the project and what we could bring to our local rural economy. I am delighted to have worked with Rural Planning Co and would highly recommend their good service.

Great service
We initially used a different planing consultant in our local area and refused planning. We contacted the rural planning team to try again and we’re successful.
The difference in application and detail was incredible.
The rural planning team were extremely professional and the application was outstanding.
There knowledge of the Malvern hills planning alongside a large portfolio in class Q barn conversions really showed.
I would like to thank Sally Moore for getting our planning through first time.

A pleasure to deal with.

We initially used a different company to help us with our planning application.
In comparison with the rural planning company they had no idea what they were doing.
Angela, Chris and the team very quickly got on with our application. We had absolutely nothing to do. It was all taken care of by them. They kept us informed along the way. The very detailed, explained 11 page documents paid off. Our application was successful.
We were absolutely delighted with the outcome, and the service we received from all the team. Without them we know we would not have had this result.
We highly recommend them. A massive thank you, especially to Angela and Chris who were always up front with us. And of course the team who were on our case too. Thank You all at Rural Planning Company.
Wish we had been able to give you 10 stars. They would have been well deserved!!
Wishing you all a Happy and Prosperous 2025.

We have recently obtained planning permission to build a lean to and a barn. Despite issues outside their control, Hannah and her team have updated us all of the way and have helped us whenever possible.
It was a pleasure to engage with them.

Angela and the team just got on with the job and took all the stress of making a planning application away from us. The planning application was very impressive and extensive. They kept us informed at every stage.
Would highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again.

Hannah and her team recently helped us remove an Agricultural occupancy restriction from a property we own. They provided a professional service with clear communication provided throughout the process. Any questions were dealt with promptly. I would not hesitate to recommend the Rural Planning Company to anyone that was looking for the services they provide. Thank you for a successful result.

Great service, very helpful with a wide range of knowledge to help us through a tough planning application which went very smoothly thanks to Angela and the team.

Was our first time trying to gain permission on a property which wasn’t straight forward, I’ll be forever grateful for their patience and time going through everything and putting together an application which was successful. Sally was a constant source of knowledge and wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

Hannah and the team were great from start to finish. What is really different with this business is that they have a deep understanding from the landowners perspective and very quickly grasp the outcomes that we were trying to achieve. Despite the inevitable delays from the planners the team were proactive in addressing any issues and kept us in touch all the way through. thank you

Everything about the Real Planning Co was exemplary and a pleasure to work with.
Sally, professional, friendly, and extremely helpful with my application which was successful. I would not hesitate in recommending them and quite honestly would not go anywhere else.

The Rural Planning Co were very professional throughout offering a very efficient and friendly service. I would recommend them to anyone.

Very easy to work with. Keep you updated with regular updates without having to chase. There is a clear timeline from the beginning of when things will happen and they do. A refreshing company to work with, happy to recommend

Sally at the Rural Planning Co put together an excellent case that demonstrated the need for our agricultural building which was subsequently approved by Wychavon without issue. Thank you.

Achieved planning in a short time. Kept me informed every step of the way. Very professional. Would highly recommend.
