What Our Clients Say

"I instructed Andy to help with a change of use application to convert a premises from B1 to D1 planning based in Leeds. The application was a challenging process requiring clarification and negotiation with the planning department. Andy was extremely helpful. He replied promptly and addressed all issues with a high level of professionalism. I firmly believe that had it not been for Andy's extensive knowledge, research and preparation I would not have been able to open my new business. I would highly recommend his services and can't thank him enough for all his assistance. I will have no hesitation to use him in the future for my next venture."

"Andy came highly recommended, which in my experience can go either way. We were saddled with a planning condition preventing holiday lets on a building we wanted to convert to do just that some of the time. Andy wrote a compelling paper which got the result we wanted without going to committee. More importantly, in every conversation we had he was calm and confident. By that I mean the impact was he helped me to be calm and confident. The building process is fraught in itself, so being around people who not only know what they are doing, but are easy to work with makes it so much better. Thank you."
