We had a fantastic experience working with 4D Planning for our C4 HMO planning application in Wembley. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient.

They clearly understood the complexities involved and guided us through every step with confidence and clarity. Their expertise made a real difference—our application was submitted smoothly and approved without any issues.

What really stood out was their attention to detail, prompt communication, and deep understanding of local planning policies. They made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable.

Highly recommend 4D Planning to anyone looking for reliable and skilled architectural planning support. We’ll definitely be using them again for future projects!

Gaining planning approval for airconditioning units

I have no hesitation recommending 4D Planning who helped us gain planning approval for installation of air conditioning units for our home which is in a conservation area. This included preparation planning, submitting the application, liaising with the Council, leading to successful approval.

Thank you 4D Planning team

The 4D Planning team have been remarkable, coming to my aid quickly, efficiently, and knowledgably, to lodge a retrospective planning application.
Within the first week of contact, I had a telephone meeting with a Planning Consultant to explain my situation, then an appointment was made for a lovely Architectural Technician to do a site visit for photographs and measurements for their design. They met all their proposed timescales and provided very detailed drawings and report. They provided professional advise and I am extremely pleased that our application was approved outright at the first Planning Meeting it was presented to.
A very big thank you to the whole 4D Planning team :-)
