Our Approach
No juniors.
No waffle.
No kidding.
You want expert advice you can trust. And as with any professional service, that depends on who’s doing the advising.
You want someone who knows the planning system inside out – the issues, the process, the people. And that’s what you’ll get, not just at the initial meeting, or the big presentation, but all the time. We won’t be kicking your job down to our juniors, because we don’t have any.
And we won’t be giving you glossy, thick reports full of waffle, but clear information you can use. Whilst we will not be encouraging you to take the least line of resistance, we will equally be direct with you in identifying and explaining why particular proposals or strategies have poor prospects. And the point of all this: to give you the best chance of success.
