Get matched

Get matched with a vetted planning consultant

Get help preparing a strong application — checked against permitted development, costed clearly — with no obligation, and you stay in control.

The short answer

Share a few details about your project — what you want to do, your property type and where it is — and we'll match you with a vetted planning consultant who will check it against the permitted development rules, advise whether you need to apply, and prepare a complete application on a clear scope covering drawings, reports and the council fee. Matching is free, there's no obligation, and you decide whether to go ahead. This service provides general information and an introduction, not legal or planning advice.

The more a consultant knows up front, the more accurate the advice and scope. Have the details below ready before you request matching.

What happens after you ask to be matched

  1. We pass your details to a vetted planning consultant who covers your area.
  2. They review your project against the rules, advise whether you need permission, and quote on a clear scope.
  3. You compare on the same scope and decide — no pressure, no obligation.
Why vetted: we match you with consultants who have been checked, because a well-prepared, valid application is what keeps a decision on time and lowers the risk of refusal — the most costly outcome to avoid.
