TheTownPlanner Ltd knows how important every project is to our clients, regardless of scale and will always commit to tell you how it really is rather than leading you up the garden path!

Testimonials
May I compliment you on a very ‘human’ and approachable style – not something planners are renowned for (possibly unfairly!) J.H. (Grantown-On-Spey)
It’s been good to work with you on this project and I certainly look forward to many more as well as recommend your services to other future clients. Thank you. DT, (Craigellachie)
TheTownPlanner assembled a very concise report in planning speak which targeted each and every objection. The report submitted by TheTownPlanner blew the objections out of the water D.W. (Kingussie)
Thanks for all your support – you’ve been vital!!! P.K. (London)

Following a recent application by a neighbour to commercially develop a field at the bottom of my garden, Jane provided advice on relevant planning legislation and helped compose an objection letter for submission to the Planning Department. The applicant subsequently withdrew his application as the Planning Officer advised that it would not be approved because of the impact on the surrounding properties. I wonder if this would have been the case had we not received such detailed and appropriate advice from Jane.
Jane is both friendly and professional, and offers a wealth of experience relating to planning matters and I would have no hesitation in recommending her services. J.W. (Cumbria)
