Planning By Design Reviews

Greedy grant the director All fake reviews written by them selves grant the director is a very greedy man , he has no interest in his clients only how much he can rob from their wallets , be care-full people don’t be fooled by this lot , and his wife Abi is horrendous to talk to on the phone when challenged they get aggressive and nasty. The long and short of it is , they have no clue about architecture or Planning they are literally just winging it and taking peoples money.

This is our first big home project and we had no clue where to start, or of the process. PBD helped us from the beginning to do the neccessary checks that what we wanted to do was possible, did our drawings and plans for us, and even did the application to the council which went on to get accepted first time. The whole process was made to feel 'smooth' and took all stress away from us, knowing that all steps were being undertaken in the right way which was what ultimately led to our application getting accepted so quickly as they did everything to the correct requirements of our council. We would not hesitate to recommend on to others, and if we were to do any further projects we will be sure to use again. Thank you to all involved.

I am very pleased with the professional service I received from Planning By Design. They managed my dropped kerb planning application efficiently and kept me informed throughout the process. Their knowledge, guidance and attention to detail made everything straightforward and stress-free. Most importantly, my application was approved. I would happily recommend Planning By Design to anyone seeking reliable and professional planning support.

Planning by design did a great job of doing the drawings and leasing with the council. I did have a very awkward council and they took care of all the extra paperwork to get my planning application through. I would recommend there services.

Our church which is a Grade 2 Listed building wanted to install solar panels to the roof. Salford Council would not allow us to do a planning application ourselves so after getting quotes we chose Planning-by-Design. The main reason was because they had their own dedicated town planner and Cerys smoothed the way through all the red tape. It took over 2 years to get the panels installed and having to go to appeal, but Cerys kept with it. I would recommend this company to you.
