  • Nigel Jowsey of Pershore Planning was one of the first people to respond to my enquiry. He made time to visit me at my property, provided some general advice & guidance before taking some measurements & heading off. He gave me a huge amount of confidence that he could successfully deliver what I needed. I asked Nigel to manage the whole process for securing the retrospective planning permission I needed for a garden office that I believed didn't require planning permission for but in the end did. It really did take the stress out of the whole process for me. I was kept informed of progress & was delighted when Nigel confirmed that permission had indeed been granted a few weeks later. I would happily enlist Nigel's help if I ever find myself in this situationA.Dunlop, Retrospective Planning Permission, Gloucestershire - November 2022

    From the get-go we were super impressed with Nigel, I filled the form out at 8 am on a Saturday morning and he'd responded by about 8:30! All the way through the process we've been able to drop him emails or questions and he's been a huge help especially as this is our first time ever doing anything like this! Planning application went smoothly and Nigel was super helpful with flood risk assessments as well! On top of all of this he understood what we wanted from our future home and was full of ideas to help us pinpoint and draw up exactly what we wanted! All in a great architectural designer and service!K.Vaughan, Evesham, Architect - June 2021
