We started our planning appeal with 3, 4, 5 10 pages of ranting at the LPA for refusing our planning application which was for the use of a small piece of land within Green Belt for subsistence farming; a quirky and unusual application to which the LPA took a strong negative position. We were lucky to find Justin de Vries, of The Rural Planning Company. Justin understood our situation and embraced the challenge of trying to overcome the LPAs decision at appeal. Justin showed strong empathy with our predicament, was prompt and clear with his communication, accepted our unusual lifestyle motives, and gave excellent and pragmatic advice. He was able to put us in touch with an equally understanding and supportive Ecologist to bolster our appeal. We now have a saying channel your inner Justin meaning stay calm, think it through, and come up with an intelligent and succinct response without getting angry and it works! Getting professional support initially felt costly in relation to the size of our development but at all times we have felt that we have been getting more than we were paying for; without Justins help we have no doubt that we would not have been successful in our appeal. Justin de Vries, and the Rural Planning Company, have quite simply been brilliant!

I was looking for a Company who could support me through the planning process for a mid-sized Hay barn with secure lock up facilities. After looking at the various approaches I could have taken I decided to approach The Rural Planning Company as a One Stop Shop. After having a brief consultation over the phone it was clear that this was a competent Company who was well used to dealing with the various aspects and manoeuvrings required to smooth the process. Everything was handled in a professional and courteous manner and I was kept fully informed at all times. Planning was approved first time around and, if there were any queries , I never got to hear about them! Fully recommend and will happily use again. I have already passed across their details to two colleagues. Regards M. Farmiloe
