Testimonials

Thank you for all the help and knowledge you were able to provide – we really appreciate it and wouldn’t have been able to do it without you (and all the RPP team)!

Miss B. Brentford

We used The RPP in Spring 2022 to gain planning on a holiday letting property. I am very pleased that we decided to use The RPP as it was essential for our business to gain this permission.

Waterside Ltd.

The whole package of planning, including managing other specialists, ensured complete alignment at all times. It was a great pleasure for me that RPP took this lead and secured our planning approval.

Little Quarry Glamping

RPP provide a great service. They are professional and knowledgeable, and they achieved great results for us on three separate occasions. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Mr. B

Huge thanks to The Rural Planning Practice, your help has been very much appreciated. The resulting comments in the Decision Notice do feel considerably more proportionate than the initial feedback from the planning officer to the first application.

Mrs. R

I have used The Rural Planning Practice for many years. They are efficient, knowledgeable and always get the end result that we require. I would recommend for advice and for obtaining planning permissions.
