Testimonials

Doug helped us to appeal for an extension to the front of our house We found him to be knowledgeable and professional. He was quick to communicate any issues. We have no hesitation in recommending him.

Graham & Hazel Carter
 

Doug was highly recommended to provide expert advice which we needed to support our planning application.He has completed everything we needed to provide to the council in a very swift manner. He also gave us guidance on how to progress our application due to it not being straight forward with the property being listed locally.

Chrissie Larkins
 

We have used Doug before to object to a planning application. His report was clear and pertinent and helped us with our objections. Will certainly use him again.

Andrew Sutherland
 

Doug’s thoughtful approach and my architect’s ability to share their drawings enabled Doug to achieve a positive result which I was truly grateful for.

Ms Sutherland
 

Doug went the ‘extra mile!’ He has an extensive understanding of planning issues, yet explains things clearly and straightforwardly. Thank you Doug – we gladly recommend you!

Julia and Richard Pyper
 

Doug handled our planning from start to finish. He worked with the architect and myself making sure we understood the challenges, and guiding us to our finalised application. His knowledge was invaluable. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Alan Fisher
 

Doug was extremely helpful and efficient with assisting us with our Grade II Listed planning application. I would definitely recommend him.

Mr & Mrs Bird
 

Doug responded to my planning enquiry promptly and was kind enough to arrange a site visit to answer my family’s questions regarding potential planning permission potential. Although we decided not to proceed with the process his professional advice was invaluable to us.

Peter Scutt
 

An excellent summary of our objections to the planning application and a convincing argument to present our case for which we are very grateful.
