Planning Voice レビュー 40

Really happy with Planning Voice. I gave them details of the planning application and some details of the reasons why I wanted to object. It was also important to get the objection in ASAP as the council hadn't given us much time. PV supplied a very good draft document within the required timescale and even corrected some errors and added some additional arguments before I submitted it. Very happy with the result and cost. This letter and other objections resulted in the application being withdrawn fairly quickly; I'm sure a modified application will be submitted and, if necessary, I wouldn't hesitate to use PV again.

Fabulous service!
Thank you Rachel for providing a very knowledgeable and professional service. Nothing was too much trouble - when I had questions about the planning issues, Rachel responded promptly the same day.
I consider your service to be so worthwhile
and appreciate very much the commitment to proving an exemplary service.
Would highly recommend.

From the first phone call to the final letter Rachel was professional, thorough, supportive and quick to turn things around.
She was able to reference policies and regulations relevant to the application and demonstrate the factual and personal impact on us, as neighbours to the proposed extension and dormer conversion.
Having spoken with the planning team and Councillor her input undoubtedly led to a "Recommendation to refuse" which was followed by the agent withdrawing the application.
Using Rachel's service certainly made the process less stressful and resulted in a positive outcome.

Fantastic service!

Thank you Rachel for your dedication in providing the best service. The money was well spent as your letter contributed to the HMO application being refused.
I am so happy and cannot thank you enough.

What a fantastic service.
From the 1st email and reply, which was the same day and a Sunday I might add!
Rachel has produced a brilliant response to a planning application from a developer, opposing the proposal.
When I spoke to her on the phone the next day she had already looked up the case at Winchester Local Authority and set about her reply.
Do yourselves a favour and contact Rachel at Planning Voice - you wont be disappointed

For the ordinary person, the planning process is a maze. Planning Voice acts as a guide through the twists and turns of that maze.

Planners use their own methodology and language for structuring applications. Developers have the time and money to employ their own planning experts – experts who speak that language, and can use their expertise to present applications in the best possible light. In the process, the people impacted by planning proposals can easily find themselves outgunned. The great thing about Planning Voice is that it redresses the balance, giving you an opportunity to have your case heard, on equal terms.

When I first realised that I would need to submit a planning objection, I was surprised how hard it was to find professional help. I contacted several of the local planning consultancies, and was turned away by all of them. The explanation given was that they had promoted schemes in my area, and so had a conflict of interest. A lot of the time, however, it felt to me like they were instinctively on the side of the developers (who provide most of their work), and unenthusiastic about the hassle of dealing with lay customers.

Against this background, Planning Voice was a welcome change. Their website made it clear that their service was aimed at the individual who is impacted by a planning application. They replied very quickly when I completed their online form, responding thoughtfully to all of the issues which I thought were important (as well as warning me off some of the things that the planning authorities would not take into account). They produced a professional letter of objection within two days, as they had promised would be the case. And then they stayed in touch over the following days (as the deadline for submissions approached), dealing patiently with the follow-up questions and amendments that I suggested.

The service is excellent value for money: I would definitely recommend it.

When the planning application arrived on my doormat. I was totally at a loss as to what to do. After a google search looking for valid and acceptable reasons to object, Planning Voice came up on the feed and after reading reviews I though this is the company to contact.
Rachel was quick to respond to my request and said she could help with writing a planning objection letter. She wasn’t wrong, the letter was comprehensive, well informed and an enormous amount of research had been done to support the objection, including quoting Policy context. She listened to my reasons behind the objection and made sure they were included in the letter along with points I hadn’t even though about.
She clearly has a handle on planning objections and the various scenarios that fit for each objection. Evening emails from me, when I would have considered the office to be closed, were answered immediately.
I was about to leave for holiday and was worried the objection wouldn't be submitted before the deadline, but Rachel took that on for me and submitted the objection to the Planning Department. You have no idea how grateful I am to Rachel for "being there" whilst I was away.
I am happy to say that the planning application has been rejected and we can rest easy for a while.

Rachel is a credit to her profession. I cannot express enough her dedication, understanding, knowledge and professionalism. An example, I sent an email at 2045hrs on a Saturday expecting a reply Monday PM, a reply within 5 mins, revisions sent back by 2130 hrs. Not many committed people around like that anymore. I did a little research into planning policies locally, compiled a list of possible objections and sited other applications etc which help my case,I spoke to Rachel who understood my situation and provided me with a well informed objection letter which we tweaked a number of times which was then submitted. Result :- the application was withdrawn. A revised application is sure to follow but I am reassured in the knowledge that Rachel's help and expertise is on hand. Thank you again Rachel you are a pleasure to work with.

Confused on how to concisely state my objection to the proximity of the proposed build to my dwelling, I searched online for help and found "Planning Voice" I
contacted Rachel who offered expert advice and guidance.
SO pleased with everything the company provided very quick response, although 4 pages long the letter received is extremely well researched, solid and concise. Would certainly recommend Rachel superb value the best £300 I have spent in a long time. Thank you Rachel (fingers crossed)

From start to finish Rachel made this process quick and easy. I had objections I wanted to make that I felt the proposal planning went against the local plan policy and her expertise and talent was in making sure those objections were structured and worded beautifully. She even picked up on some policies I hadn't thought the planning proposal contravenes, this will help to present a stronger case. Her advice was great.

I highly recommend Planning Voice and wouldn't hesitate to use them again if I need to in the future and the fee is very reasonable.

A prompt, quality service. We provided details of our objection to a neighbour’s proposed large development, Planning Voice couched it in the appropriate planning language citing relevant local and National planning documents. We obtained all the relief we were seeking plus several bonuses.. Rachel was a pleasure to deal with, we would use Planning Voice again anytime.

I am a leaseholder who recently faced a challenging situation when the developer who purchased the freehold of our building proposed an overdevelopment by adding two extra stories. Fortunately, we had the pleasure of working with Rachel from Planning Voice, whose expertise and dedication made a significant difference in our case.

Rachel meticulously reviewed the planning application, location, and previous incidents before committing to our case. She ensured there was a solid basis for objection before proceeding, demonstrating her integrity. Her thorough analysis and strategic approach gave us confidence from the start.

Rachel crafted an exceptionally strong objection letter spanning four pages, effectively highlighting the issues with the application. She referenced relevant national and local policies and guidelines and cited previous precedents to bolster our case. Additionally, Rachel was incredibly accommodating and incorporated an extra section based on our feedback, ensuring all our concerns were addressed.

Working with Rachel was an absolute pleasure. Her commitment to our case and her exceptional writing skills have given us confidence that her letter will have a strong impact on the outcome of the planning application. We cannot recommend Rachel from Planning Voice highly enough for anyone needing professional and effective planning objection support. Thank you, Rachel, for your outstanding work!

Very helpful from first contact. They created an impressive letter to our Planners in an extremely short period of time. Would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Excellent service, very fast turn round and Rachel has an in depth knowledge of the planning process. Also research the local planning policies and provided a clear objection letter for myself and my neighbour. She also alerted me to the referral to the Planning Committee and gave me some advice on how to present my case. The planning committee went against us, but at least we present a very good case. I would recommend Planning Voice wholeheartedly.

Twelve years ago I moved into my house located between 2 residential properties. Recently a planning application has been submitted on a converted barn. I wanted to create the best and strongest objection to a commercial enterprise creating a party house and possible wedding venue less than a metre from my bedroom and lounge windows. I was delighted to find Planning Voice who after a telephone conversation and some background detail from me have submitted a strong objection which ties in with National and Local planning policies. The letter is concise and well put together and was produced quickly. I would happily recommend their service.

Planning Voice provide an outstanding service. They have a remarkable and in-depth knowledge of the planning system and the relevant national and local policies and legislation. They immerse themselves in the details of individual issues. They write incisive, well-reasoned and persuasive documents. And they do this very quickly. My case was turned round in 48 hours. They are a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

Planning Voice have provided a professional and supportive service in raising a relevant, focused and detailed objection to our complex planning problem. The service we have received has been exemplary and our expectations have been exceeded. Helpful, supportive and responsive in equal measure. Would not hesitate to recommend, or use services in future.

Faced with a planning issue next door, we contacted Planning Voice and they were brilliant. Got a solid, four-page long objection letter in just two days, and the price was exactly as advertised. We are really pleased with how it turned out.

From the first telephone contact, to the discussion on the planning and writing the report (which was drafted expeditiously) Planning voice provided highly professional, personal and cost-effective service.

My husband and I would 100% recommend planning voice.

Amazing Service - Planning Voice prepared a well written and researched planning objection, which will no doubt be taken into account by the Council. Would definitely recommend! Worth every penny! Thank you!
