This is the part of the website, where we try and prevent misunderstandings and get along in business. I am here to help you by sharing my knowledge that I have built up over the years that I and my family have been involved in property.


Sharing my love of planning with regards to property development in England. I am not a chartered town planner, or an accountant, financial advisor or solicitor. I am however a developer who loves planning and enjoys reading the NPPF, GPDO and other such documents with four letters….. I do hold a qualification in Funeral Directing (old family business) and hold a press pass when I used to photograph premier league football. Neither of these will help you in your town, but I hope my knowledge and experience will!

Planning can change on a regular basis and each local authority will have their own differences locally. It is not possible to cover all the variations that exist, so consulting your local plan or other published information or speaking to the local authority will assist.

I do hope that the above will not put you off me assisting you. You will find similar disclaimers on most planning websites or in agreements that you might be asked to sign.
