As householders we found the planning process with our local authority a very complicated process, especially as our house is in a Conservation Area.
Elie, Max and all other staff at 4D Planning provided us with great assistance in the planning process from end-to-end. We are delighted that we have been granted planning permission for our project on the first application.

Just very efficient, responsive and understanding of our design needs. I spoke with numerous architects about a planning application for a 1st floor side extension - a good number of the specialists we approached said that it wouldn't be possible. Elie, Galit and team got it through. Great value service. Thank you to Elie and Galit.

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!

great support and advice on getting a change of use for very difficult premises (listes building)
It is a great team with Elie, Galit and the rest providing support, knowledge and experience on what and how to submit things.
many thanks!

Worked hard over a planning application for a change of use for me. Did a good job and we got the permissions we wanted in a relatively short time frame.
I would note others trying to gain similar planning for the same have been less successful in my borough so 4D did an excellent job and I would recommend.

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.
