The Rural Planning Co Reviews 

Achieved planning in a short time. Kept me informed every step of the way. Very professional. Would highly recommend.

We initially used a different company to help with our first planning application, and although very knowledgeable and professional, it didn’t seem like our small project was worthy of their full attention.
So, with our second application we spoke to The Rural Planning Co. And what a difference!
From the start, there was attention to detail and sound advice, and when we were given to Justin it was like a breath of fresh air.
What can I say…. It’s been a long and hard road to get to the final decision.
We were working with what seemed to be the most awkward and unresponsive LPA in the country.
Justin was a god send. He’s friendly with a great personality and his determination and patience shone through and eventually won the day. He talked me through every step of the way, used his own extensive expertise and sought the correct experts in other fields when needed, he took care of everything from start to finish.
Great Company to work with
In the words of Justin…. We did it!!!!
Thank you, Justin, and the team at the Rural Planning Co.

I cant thank the Rural planning co enough they made our dream self build project come true. From first point of contact with Hannah we approached her with the idea of a self build project with 2 properties on a very sentimental peace of land to our family which we knew wasn't going to be an easy task from the off. very quickly Hannah came up with a solution on which way to attack the application and appointed us to Justin who is a great asset to their team. His knowledge is amazing and knew exactly how to handle the application looking into every detail to get the correct information which gave us a very strong application.

yes it wasn't a quick planning application but we knew exactly where we stood with cost and the team did everything in there power to get this application approved and lets face it with one of the most awkward local planning authorities around. So much so near by neighbors have asked for the details of the rural planning co as they have not been able to get simple extensions on there properties through in the same local area.

Many Thanks max

We cannot thank Angela and the team at The Rural Planning Co enough with our successful planning application on a agricultural building and temporary dwelling.
Angela is very knowledgeable and filled us with confidence through out the planning process. This made the whole experience straight forward and stress free, I highly recommend them.

Angela and her team at Rural Planning gave us fantastic advice on lifting an agricultural tie that we didn't think was possible .They arranged all the necessary survey's and paperwork that made it happen.
In addition Angela prepared a comprehensive planning statement to support our planning application again they prepared all the paperwork and we were successful in our application.
I cannot recommend The Rural Planning Co highly enough to help anyone through a quite complex process.

We have had such a professional and personable experience with Justin. He made our rather daunting project run smoothly with his vast experience and knowledge, which we believe, achieved our successful planing result.
We already have and will continue to recommend Justin to anyone seeking planning advice.

Justin de Vries, their consultant came out to our property and we spent some time looking at options. with his knowledge and experience he was able to give me good advice which resulted in a successful planning application. I also got good back up support, Justin was always available to take a call and always found myself smiling after the call! Top company!

We got our lawful development thanks to Rural Planning; the entire process from start to finish was smooth, we were kept fully informed of where we are and what the next steps will be in the application process. Justin's attention to detail showed that he had vast experience in this complex planning field and that helped us immensely in getting our application approved.

Personally, I really enjoyed the application process and the collaboration with Justin, he made it simple and easy to follow - all done online without any site visits - what a result and money well spent!

If you need planning advice and expertise in rural settings, then this is the team you need to talk too!

Excellent event organised by The Rural Planning Co. Very professional and great advice provided. Thank you

I would 100% recommend The Rural Planning Co. The experience has bean straightforward, simple and communications have been brilliant and I have been kept informed at everystage.

Truly brilliant company to deal with, very easy to communicate with from both sides, very professional outfit.

The biggest upside for me was they dealt with almost everything from start to finish without me having to do any majour effort which I wouldn’t have the time with my other Bussiness commitments.

Truly brilliant service.

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 Justin’s 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!

Brilliant from start to finish. Very fast very efficient and great communication, did a grand job can’t complain.

Through our experience working with the The Rural Planning Company we cannot recommend them highly enough. An excellent knowledge base and thorough working practices always deliver results.

We have provided surveying services to The Rural Planning Co on a number of projects.

We have been impressed by the efficient and professional approach each and every project. Furthermore, each and every member of the team are really friendly and helpful.

Excellent service provided by the rural planning company for my recent planning application.
Thorough service, excellent communication throughout. All documents submitted for my application were professionally produced and presented. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to others.
