We would thoroughly recommend James of Intouch Planning. His support throughout our planning application was superb. From initial communication, then on-site meeting and follow ups, we found James to be an excellent communicator who took the time to understand our requirements and complete research so that he was always well prepared.
The planning document that he prepared was extremely thorough and well presented in a very logical way, that clearly showed our requirements and made it easy for the planning officers to review and understand our project, including proactively tackling any issues that James could foresee might have arisen by drawing on his deep planning experience. His advice was fantastic, and I have no doubt that he was absolutely instrumental in ensuring our application progressed through very smoothly and swiftly, enabling us to obtain full planning permission in double quick time! Thank you James!
James came recommended and I can see why. He was incredibly responsive to our query and provided high-quality, insightful advice for an unbeatable fee. If we ever have any further planning matters we'll certainly be giving him a call.
