We are truly grateful and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Dealing with Green Belt regulations felt daunting, but ALB Planning handled everything brilliantly. They explained what was realistic, prepared strong documents, and worked closely with the planning authority. We achieved permission with minimal stress. Their local knowledge and attention to detail really stood out. I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

We approached ALB Planning about changing the use of a property for business purposes. They were extremely thorough, giving us confidence from the start. Their detailed application highlighted points we hadn’t considered, and it was approved without delay. Highly professional, friendly and efficient — I would certainly use them again.

Our application had been refused twice before, but ALB Planning turned things around. They reviewed the decision carefully, prepared a strong appeal, and managed to get the refusal overturned. We are thrilled with the outcome. They know exactly how the system works and fight hard for their clients’ interests.
