UK Planning Consultancy
I can help homeowners and developers submit applications that get approved first time — and I can help neighbours object to schemes that shouldn’t.
Services
Fixed-fee, jargon-free, and grounded in planning knowledge — reach decisions with confidence.
Before you submit to your Local Planning Authority, I will review the whole package — drawings, design & access statement, supporting documents — and flag the issues that routinely cause refusals.
Worried about a neighbour’s scheme? Emotional letters rarely shift decisions — informed, material planning grounds do. I’ll help you write the right ones.
About
I hold [your degree] and have [X] years in the planning industry.
Most refusals I dealt with were avoidable. Most successful objections rested on the same handful of material considerations. Hedgerow Planning exists to put that knowledge in the hands of the people who need it — without the cost of a large consultancy.
How it works
No retainers, no surprises — just clear steps from first call to outcome.
We talk through your application or the proposal you’re concerned about. You will have a comprehensive understanding of how I can help.
You get a written scope and price before any work begins. Most reviews and objections fall within a clear, agreed range.
A plain-English report you can act on — or, with objections, a polished representation ready to submit to the council.
Quick questions afterwards are included. Need help speaking at committee or responding to officer comments? I’m here.
FAQ
Don’t see your question? Ask in the request form — I reply to every enquiry personally.
No honest consultant can. What I can do is significantly improve your odds by spotting the issues a case officer will, and giving you a fair chance to fix them before submission.
Fees are agreed on a case-by-case basis. Most pre-submission reviews and drafted objections are offered as fixed fees agreed in advance. The free initial call gives me enough to quote accurately for your case.
I work with clients across England and Wales remotely. Site-specific knowledge and an understanding of local plans is always factored into the work.
If your concerns are framed as material planning considerations — then, not personal preference — yes. A well-drafted objection that engages with local and national policies carries genuine weight.
Get in touch
I read every message myself and usually reply within two to three working days. The initial 20-minute call is always free.
