Planning consultancy portfolio by geoffallen.org.uk

A gradually growing portfolio

I've spent almost 30 years in local government managing construction projects of great variety and size from conception through to completion. I fully understand the vagaries of the planning system. With a Masters in Business Administration and a Chartered Civil Engineer I am well prepared to prepare plans, Desing & Access Statements, Feasibility Studies and even Appeal Statements if necessary. I have not yet lost an Appeal.

I have a fairly unorthodical approach to the planning system and once we have agreed a fee, I put in the time and effort necessary to get planning permission or win an appeal. I am now moving to a low inital fee to prepare the plans and planning appllication which is your risk, and a high success fee which is my risk. This strategy motivates me to get the best result for you.

This Architect designed extension was initiallyl refused planning permission in Feb 2010 and the architect told his client, a mate of mine, that an appeal was most likely to be unsuccessful.
