Planning Voice レビュー 40

Maria did an excellent objection letter for us in October 2025 . As a result of this the planning application was withdrawn. We were very happy with this and would highly recommend. Excellent service and exceptional detailed objection letter.

We used Maria at Planning Voice to help us object to 10 Room HMO planned for next door.

She wrote a concise and factual case against the development covering all the salient features of the plan that would give grounds for refusal of the planning application.

I am very pleased to say our local council rejected the planning application. Well done Maria!

My neighbours and I had a major privacy issue with a new leisure centre build. With the build in progress and the company declining to discuss the issue we turned to Planning Voice for guidance. My initial call was on a Friday afternoon and that evening Maria contacted me with a time critical objection and offered to prepare it for submission that weekend.
Without doubt, her expert knowledge has been invaluable and we are now more hopeful we can get a satisfactory resolution.
I would have no hesitation in working with Planning Voice again.

These people are true professionals! I would not hesitate to pay for their services again if I should need them. The letter they put together was so detailed the local council could not possibly ignore it when it came to granting a planning application for an HMO in our small residential street. The application was denied!! Numerous neighbours have thanked me once I had shown them the letter Maria had put together. It gave us the hope we desperately needed to stop this application from succeeding. Maria responded to every message and email without delay! Well worth every penny! She investigated the plans thoroughly and pointed out all the discrepancies contra to council policies. I could not have done that myself! Absolutely spot on, I and my neighbours are over the moon with this company, we can’t thank them enough 🙏

Maria reviewed and drafted an objection to a planning application on a neighbouring property for an extension including a balcony which would overlook my property and greatly affect my privacy. The objection letter was very well drafted with detailed objections and quoted the local authority's own guidelines. As a result the applicant, at the request of the council, amended the plans to remove reference to the balcony and the final planning approval was granted in 2026 without the balcony.

Maria prepared the grounds for objecting to a planning application. Amazingly it arrived within three days. The letter was several pages long of detailed, academic & thoughtful reasoning for opposing the application. It was 'on point', impressive and touched all the pertinent points from my brief email. The LPA accepted her comments and advised the applicant to withdrawI the application. I was was exceedingly grateful for her help in this matter and would recommend and use the service again if needed.

I contacted Rachel at Planning voice for advice in writing an objection letter to a proposal for a large development near our home. The letter she put together based on my much less concise views and information was absolutely spot on and turned around within the week. The local housing action group was very impressed. It later went to committee and she was also kind enough to talk to me on the phone about speaking at the meeting. Recommended!

Planning Voice helped us in getting an HMO extension by a neighbour refused by providing targeted points referencing Council data. The communication was great at all times.

We are delighted with the excellent professional service.

Rachel is extremely thorough.

The residents objected to a large self build house on the field behind our houses being proposed by an experienced local developer.

Rachel is very knowledgeable regarding all the various rules and regulations that the Council could not possible ignore when dealing with our objection.

During the entire engagement Rachel was professional, thorough, supportive and quick to turn things around.

Rachel referenced policies and regulations relevant to the application to demonstrate the factual and personal impact on us, as neighbours to the proposed development. She also successfully referenced relevant planning legislation. The output was a skilfully crafted objection letter which hit home on all key points.

Using Rachel's service certainly made the process less stressful and resulted in a positive outcome.

Highly recommended

Rachel listened to what we wanted in terms of objection letter for over 130 homes near our house. She did some research and wrote an 8 page letter for us to send to the planning department. This letter contained all the terminology to make our case. We have just found out that the planning application has been refused. We are delighted with the work that Rachel did and would thoroughly recommend her services to those who wish to object to planning applications.

Planning Voice was extremely effective and I thoroughly recommend them. I couldn't hope to write such professional objection letter. They know the terminology and phrases to use. And it was effective, it achieved everything i wanted it to and the neighbours extensions plans have been completely revised to my satisfaction. Thanks Planning Voice for being on my team.

A recent application for a substantial extension to the house next door prompted me to seek professional help in presenting my objection. By good fortune, and with only a couple of days to go before the deadline, I discovered Planning Voice.
Rachel agreed to take it on and made a most detailed and persuasive case on my behalf.
I am delighted to say the application was declined. I am hugely grateful to Rachel and her team!

I want to thank Rachel for her help with our objection to a neighbour's planning application.
She acknowledged all our points and some we didn't know about!
She put it all into a formal document which mentioned all the relevant planning laws and they withdrew their application

I can't thank Rachel enough for the excellent service she provided. I approached Planning Voice after seeing in dismay the planning application our neighbours had submitted. Rachel was quick to understand our concerns, and wrote us a very professional and detailed objection letter referencing local planning policy - so much more powerful than anything we could have written ourselves. And we have had a successful outcome - the application has been withdrawn!
I thoroughly recommend Rachel and her timely professionalism.

Perfect. When you know the proper things to say and how to put them in writing….

Super simple and super effective - thank you!

Hopefully never need to use again but would definitely recommend based on our successful objection.

Just wanted to thank Rachel for her work on our objection to a new build in a neighbouring garden.

All manner of details discovered by Rachel that we would never have known & a truly excellent letter crafted.

While we’ve not seen off the development quite yet there’s confidence now that we will !

An excellent service. I cannot thank you enough!
Rachel was very knowledgeable and researched thoroughly. A representative of the planning committee visited the site to assess the impact the proposed plan would have. His report mirrored Rachel’s response and a decision was made to decline the application.

Rachel is magnificent.
I can't believe how thorough she is.
I was worried about a large extention being built next door and thought I had not much chance of objecting effectively.
Rachel is very knowledgeable about all rules and regulations that the Council could not possible ignore.
I am now confident that I have a better than fair chance of winning my objection.
It's such a relief to have someone like Rachel looking after your unterests.
I cannot recommend Rachel enough.
She is truly wonderful.
Thank you Rachel.

I cannot recommend this company enough; pouring through planning policy to try to voice real objections to a difficult planning application was a real headache. Rachel drafted the perfect response for us citing perfect reasons in policy terms as to why this proposed development should be refused. On first contact I had a quick response and the draft letter was delivered exactly when advised.

In a time of great anxiety Planning Voice was there for me. 100%

Rachel is professional, quick and more importantly extremely knowledgeable.

She’s quick to respond and gives a fair free analysis of each case.
I went ahead as nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Rachel found some great holes in a planning application we were objecting to.

An honest assessment of our case I guess seemed 50/50.
Yesterday we were informed our objections to the planning application we were challenging worked. It’s been withdrawn

No doubt to return with some holes Rachel found, filled in.
I won’t be hesitating to get Rachel and Planning Voice on it straight away to challenge. Thank you
