Testimonials

“As a premium regional house-builder we focus on seeking out the most desirable sites and locations to construct our product. Given this desire for premium area’s we can often come up against a lot of local opposition however Simon, David and the team are excellent at assisting us with navigating the relevant stakeholders to give our planning applications the best opportunity via a professional approach. The complexities of the planning system cannot be underestimated and both Simon and David have been in-valuable to our business and a joy to work with. I cannot recommend AddisonRees’ services highly enough.”

“What Simon Rees of AddisonRees Planning Consultancy Ltd doesn’t know about planning isn’t worth knowing. His knowledge of the planning system, and in particular Wychavon District Council, secured approvals in three difficult commercial planning applications, one with an officer recommended refusal. His attention to detail is s​uperb, and quite frankly if Simon can’t do it then no-one can. Working from home means that he is low cost, and in my opinion, fantastic value for money.”

“For several years I completed planning applications myself which resulted in many refusals. I then found Simon Rees and overnight the refusals became approvals. Simon fully understands the planning system both from the applicants and the planning officer’s view. This maximises the planning success rate whilst keeping the costs to a minimum. Simon and his partner David are highly recommended.”

“Thank you Addison Rees for your recent assistance in aiding our opposition of a recent planning application made by a professional developer for 25 homes.

Simon’s immense prior experience was invaluable to ensure that our multiple objections were written in a concise manner. With our case there was a tight time frame. However, the site visits and further research Simon was able to voice our concerns in a timely manner. The application was heard at the Planning Committee Meeting where it was unaminously refused. We are very grateful for the continuous support and pragmatic approach that Simon gave us, even during the pandemic.”

“I was recommended to use Simon Rees for a tricky planning application for a new dwelling on greenbelt. His knowledge and expertise was superb and resulted in  a successful outcome. The ‘Little Gem’ project is being filmed by Home Building and Renovating Magazine as an exemplar of good design and planning. Having an expert on your team like Simon saves time money and stress.”

“We have worked with AddisonRees Planning Consultancy since their inception in 2017. They have significant amounts of experience in all planning areas. We have collaborated on schemes for new housing, Class Q residential conversions, replacement dwellings, amongst others. Their ability to understand and work through the complicated and frustrating planning system is second to none. They represent value for money and will always provide you with honest guidance.”

“Addison Rees was introduced to us by Apex Architecture after we were struggling with our previous consultants with quite a delicate planning issue.  Simon was able to take over with only seven days to prepare the application that was up for planning committee, with his vast knowledge and experience Simon got the result we needed after a very worrying time. His knowledge and dedication with creative thinking is second to none to achieve a successful outcome; we have now used Simon on three occasions and will continue to do so in any future projects, having a guy like Simon on your side takes the stress and the worries out of the planning minefield that it is.”
