  Rob has recently represented us in connection with a planning application for a change of use for a holiday let.  He achieved a successful outcome on our behalf with which we are delighted.  Rob provided insightful and helpful information at the outset, recommended fellow professionals to assist and then gave further clear and practical guidance at every stage.  We could not be happier with the service that we received and would recommend Rob without any hesitation.

  Cannot express high enough praise regarding how Rob helped us navigate a planning opportunity with a very thoughtful, comprehensive and purposeful strategy to help us achieve our goal.

Rob clearly is a master in his field, he can effectively guide you, his breadth of understanding spans from high level policy driven objectives of the local councils to the more granular and specific elements of your project.

Rob has clarity of thought, is an excellent communicator, a natural leader, he is patient and passionate about delivering high quality results that satisfy all parties involved in these important decisions.

I would highly recommend him and I am looking forward to our next project working together.

  I contacted Rob after receiving a recommendation from a friend. Rob is professional, very knowledgeable and also easy to deal with. His attention to detail is second to none. I have no previous experience of obtaining planning permission. Rob talked me through each step and made the whole process run as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend him.
