Hannah and her team are fantastic

"We can't recommend Hannah and her team enough. They went above and beyond to ensure we got our planning permission on the first attempt. She covered all bases so that any questions the Council might have asked had already been covered.
Hannah is always approachable, helpful and available to advise. She answers phone calls and emails promptly. Hannah is extremely knowledgeable and liaises well with anybody necessary. 
What stood out above all else was the understanding Hannah had for what we were trying to achieve and why, she understands farming and what comes with that."

Great Team

"My experience with the team at The Rural Planning Company has been really good. From the beginning a clear plan of action was laid out which helped. Case officer Sally made sure every angle was covered in the planning statement before the application was presented. Time lines were very important with this project and when the planners came back with a positive result without any quibbles. I would definitely recommend The Rural Planning Company."

Successful Planning Outcome


"After meeting representatives of The Rural Planning Co a number of years ago, I knew I wanted to work with them to realise my vision of a holiday let in the form of a Shepherd Hut. From initial enquiries, to the success of achieving Full Planning Permission, I have a found the team to be professional, experienced and highly skilled. Communication has been extremely good and I have been updated throughout the process. Sally moore shared our enthusiasm for the project and what we could bring to our local rural economy. I am delighted to have worked with The Rural Planning Co and would highly recommend their good service."

A pleasure to deal with

"We initially used a different company to help us with our planning application. In comparison with The Rural Planning Co they had no idea what they were doing. Angela, Chris and the team very quickly got on with our application. We had absolutely nothing to do. It was all taken care of by them. They kept us informed along the way. The very detailed, explained 11 page documents paid off. Our application was successful. We were absolutely delighted with the outcome. Without them we know we would not have had this result. Thank you all at The Rural Planning Co. Wish we had been able to give you 10 stars. They would have been well deserved!!"

Great Service


"We initially used a different planning consultant in our local area and were refused planning. We contacted the team at The Rural Planning Co and were successful. The difference in the application and detail was incredible. The team were extremely professional and the application was outstanding. Their knowledge of the Malvern Hills planning alongside a large portfolio in Class Q barn conversions really showed. I would like to thank Sally Moore for getting our planning through first time."
