Helpful and professional. Just what we needed when our drive contractor gave us bad and incorrect advice. The council have not been great either and PBD will be helping us with their demands too.

I did not like the in-house pressure sales techniques
When I started my project, I came in with my own architectural drawings, thinking I had a clear plan. However, from the start, I was hard pressured into using the company’s own architects to redraw my plans. This led to weeks of back and forth before the final submission. The desire to upsell their products and services was a bit much.
At one point, I even had to raise my concerns with my town planner, mentioning that I felt like I was being scammed/misled. Some of the reviews also raised red flags for me. Ultimately, my application was rejected over something minor in the drawings, an issue that should have been flagged and corrected before submission.
Looking back, I’d strongly advise anyone considering a similar route to do thorough research before choosing this is the right company for you. Be cautious and ensure you fully understand what you’re agreeing to, especially if you’re being pushed toward using in-house services.
Ask for agreed timeframes and what communication you are likely to expect throughout the project.

Hi Sheryll,
While we appreciate all feedback, what you've written is inaccurate and defamatory.
You initially approached us with existing drawings and a clear plan. We clearly explained that due to copyright, it's illegal to use another architect's drawings without their explicit written consent—which you did not have. Furthermore, we cannot legally alter third-party drawings; any changes must be made by the original architect.
Despite our advice, you opted to proceed using your existing plans and engaged us solely for the planning submission. Many people are unaware that architects specialize in design, not planning policy compliance. This is why, at Planning By Design, we employ both architects and town planners. Had you instructed us for the design as well, our combined team could have created a policy-compliant proposal, significantly enhancing your application's likelihood of success. We would also have been able to promptly address any concerns raised by the planning authority.
Throughout the process, there was significant back and forth, with you attempting to add components outside of the agreed scope without additional payment. Despite repeated professional advice, you chose to proceed based on your own judgment, perceiving our recommendations as sales tactics rather than expert guidance.
Ultimately, your application was refused for six clear reasons, none of which were due to mistakes or oversights on our part:
The proposed change of use from residential flats to a nursery would result in losing three residential units without sufficient evidence of local nursery need, conflicting with Policies H3 and S2 of the Lambeth Local Plan.
The proposed 2.2m-high wraparound screen on the play area roof terrace was excessively bulky and dominant, compromising the building's architectural integrity, contrary to Policy Q11 and the Design Guide Part 4.
The application failed to show that the proposed change of use wouldn't adversely impact neighboring properties through noise and disturbance, conflicting with Policy Q2.
Insufficient information was provided to demonstrate that the screen wouldn't negatively impact daylight for neighboring properties, violating Policy Q2.
Without a parking survey and travel plan, your proposal didn't show how additional journeys by 105 users wouldn't create parking stress or environmental harm, conflicting with Policies T1 and T6.
Without a legal agreement to ensure the development was car-parking permit-free, transport impacts remained unaddressed, contradicting Policies T1, T3, and T6.
After receiving the refusal, we promptly contacted you, expressing our shared frustration and outlining potential next steps, including resubmission or an appeal, to still achieve a positive outcome.
On February 10th, you responded:
"Oh well Aaron, you win some you lose some!
Thanks for all your hard work.
Take care,
Sheryll"
We had not heard from you since that communication until your recent review.
Your review is therefore inaccurate and defamatory, as you have certainly not been scammed. If you genuinely seek resolution or assistance moving forward, please feel free to reach out, and we’ll gladly assist.
Best regards,
Planning By Design

I would Dedefinitely recommend Planning By Design …De
I would definitely recommend Planning By Design for anyone with a building project in mind.From the very start with the phone calls.Every one is so helpful kind and lovely to speak to.I was so looking forward to designing my new side extension with them ut unfortunately I hit a problem with the drains in our gardens Unfortunately I couldn't go ahead with the project It took a little while for me to get the water board in my area to come up have a look.Planning By Design gave me time with this not pushy or anything.Im just so upset I wasn't able to go ahead with my project as the price digging up and moving all outside pipes would cost to much as they were in the way of new extension.I would highly recommend Planning By Design so helpful and they explain everything to you so clearly from the start what they do for you and are so friendly.

Planning by design took all of the pressure off my shoulder
Planning by design took all of the pressure off my shoulder during the feasibility study planning process. Abigail responded quickly with the quote, and Ellie provided advice and guidance on planning, development, and restrictions for new build, so helpful throughout, taking time to answer all the questions we had. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

I recently contacted Planning by Design for an initial consultation regarding a drop kerb application, and I couldn't be more impressed with their service. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process.
They took the time to explain the requirements, potential challenges, and the necessary steps involved, making what seemed like a daunting process feel much more manageable. Their expertise and clear advice gave me confidence moving forward with my application.
If you're looking for a company that provides detailed planning insights with a friendly and efficient approach, I highly recommend Planning by Design. A fantastic experience from start to finish!

The team at Planning By Design were incredible helpful, from Cara's first interaction with me, to my planning appraisal consultation with Aaron and follow ups. Because of their work and knowledge, I was able to make a correct and educated decision regarding my business. I would definitely use Planning By Design again, should the opportunity arise.
I also learnt a lot from Aaron for any future projects for business expansion, and what I need to look into regarding land and registered uses. Thank you so much for all your help!

Garage conversion
We contact planning by design to ascertain whether it was feasible to convert our garage into a multipurpose room. From the initial enquiry the whole team has been professional. we initially applied for a lawful development certificate but sadly it was declined due to a obscure rule that our planner Ellie advised shouldn't have affected us due to them using the wrong facing highway. This was ofcourse dissapointing but Ellie provided us with a few alternatives explaining each options merits. unfortunately when our planning permission was reviewed it was identified that there were some discrepancies to the councils records and ours from the previous homeowner. (Ellie was very supportive when we had a wobble). Ellie liased with the council and being so knowledgeable managed to get them to approve our planning application with a minimal delay

Hi Matt, thanks for choosing Planning By Design and for sharing a review of your experience. We are delighted to have helped you overcome a tricky application and local authority to secure approval.
Unfortunately, even the smallest of projects are often way more complex than they first appear. Planning officers are also human and make mistakes, to put this into perspective 1 in 3 appeals are won which means councils have made a mistake when refusing applications at least 33% of the time.
Thankfully, Ellie's expertise was enough to help your planning authoity see sense without the need for a futher application or appeal. Of course, if you have any further qustions or need help with anything in the future please let us know and we'll be glad to help.
