“Gavin got me planning permission for 6 flats in a Conservation Area. I had previously applied, but the Council said they would not allow flats here. It was a tough fight: over 130 objectors, legal threats, and a listing order. But we stuck to our plans, and secured 6 really good apartments. I will have no hesitation using Gavin again. I would recommend friends, and anyone else, to use him.”
“Gavin obtained permission for a new house next to our existing house. We had recently been refused permission, but he helped us re-design it. And despite objections, and Councillor opposition, Gavin secured consent. We have secured our retirement, and are living in our new home. We wish we had consulted Gavin at the start, and recommend you to do so before applying for planning permission.”
"Gavin got me planning for 10 apartments in Wells. I’m certain I couldn't have done this without him. The Council told me they would oppose planning for 6 units, but Gavin got permission for nearly twice that number. It was a fight, but he never lost confidence, and things turned out exactly as he predicted. His service was excellent value, and I would have no hesitation recommending others to use him."
“As an architectural technician I deal with many planning consultants, and decided to employ Gavin on my case. He got me permission for an office building with a basement and shower below, on land that was previously garden space. I had previously been refused at Appeal. Gavin really went to town on it, and despite objections, secured consent. I recommend you talk to him before applying.”
“We wanted an extension in a Conservation Area, and had already been refused. This wasn't the biggest case, but it was important to us. Gavin’s knowledge and experience gave us confidence to continue. He amended our proposal, briefed an architect, and his application went through. We can’t speak too highly of his advice and recommend you contact him early on in your planning process.”
"I employed GB to pursue an Appeal after my planning application was refused. I found Gavin's advice comprehensive and explicit. He researched the situation, visited the site and made an expert assessment of the chances. He put forward a reasoned argument and handled the paperwork expeditiously. I would recommend anyone requiring help with any planning matter to make use of his services. My appeal succeeded as have most of those he has undertaken."
"Gavin helped us when the Council became completely unreasonable about our application for a new house in our garden. He fought like a tiger, as is his way, and won at Appeal. It secured my parents’ retirement. We would never have succeeded without his help. We respect Gavin’s determination, toughness and loyalty, and his unmatched knowledge and experience of the system. He then got us planning permission for another house on the plot, so it’s safe to say we won!"
"Despite a hard fight, every inch of the way, Gavin splendidly secured permission for our new house in our garden; this, outside of the village, in an AONB, and despite opposition from the Council Planning Officers. He was very honest about our chances, but supported us when we decided to continue. We made a very good choice to employ his services, he impressed us with his skill, perseverance, fighting quality and loyalty: if it wasn’t for Gavin we would not be here finishing off our new home now!"
Gavin secured our application for our house in the country.
It wasn’t easy, but he advised us honestly, worked out the way through, and stuck with the case.
We are grateful for his help, and delighted to provide this testimonial. Gavin’s skill, experience, steadfastness and knowledge of the workings of the system are what saw us through. He gave us the confidence to pursue and win our application. We would recommend him to anyone else with a planning problem.
