​Services Offered by ​GRC Planning 

​For those unfamiliar with the planning system any involvement in a development proposal of whatever kind can be quite a daunting and uncertain prospect. With ever changing guidance and policy the planning system is complex and sometimes impenetrable so a helping hand through the process is as invaluable as it is essential.
​
I believe in providing clear no-nonsense, meaningful, and informed advice. I identify opportunities and added value as well as identifying planning risk, as part of a comprehensive analysis of all the options for a proposal.
 
I have a reputation for getting results and for persistence and determination. If I believe there has been an injustice, I will fight for the cause no matter how large or how small. I am equally at home with a large housing project or a small difficult householder extension. Each will be as important to the client and, therefore, to me.
 
GRC Planning offers a range of services tailored to individual requirements on a bespoke professional basis. Clear, honest and realistic advice is delivered on a commercially aware basis based on over 30 years of experience ‘on both sides of the fence’ at a senior level in both the public and private sector.
