Exceptional! That is the word we'd use to describe the way Ben and Denise supported our journey.
Starting by the suggested design, up until the delivery of the technical drawings, we were extremely pleased with the quality and standard of service that we were provided with.
Ben has a gift to make things very easy to understand to someone that, like us, has no experience or knowledge in the area. He listened, understood and improved our inital concepts to a way that we never thought it could be done!
All in a very relaxed but professional manner, with no impositions or pressure, and with tremendous clarity.
The communication with Ben and Denise was always very easy and efficient. Any doubts or issues were clarified in a matter of minutes and we always felt reassured that they would be there to support us throughout all the works.
If you are reading reviews wondering where to go, you can stop here! They are brilliant and we recommend the PPCo, highly!

It's been a pleasure dealing with Ben and can't thank him enough! He gave us ideas we hadn't even considered. Never had to chase for anything. Everything was done very promptly. The quality of the approved drawings is outstanding! The builder has even commented saying they're some of the best he's ever seen with over 30 years in the trade. Would recommend The Practical Planning Company to anyone!

Ben and the team helped with the planning of the rear (2 storey) and side extension of our house. They are patient and easy to communicate. Ben helped the negotiation with our neighbours and modified planning to make the application successful. Definitely recommend for planning work!

Ben is personable and professional.
He was able to advise on a number of design choices and guide us through the process of planning and designing our extension.
Would happily recommend to a friend.

We had a free consultation with Ben, it was about a small extension and the creation of an open plan area. He was super helpful and transparent; good honest service. Highly recommended. Thank you Ben!
