March 2025, Acquisition International | 7 Delivering Excellence, from Concept to Completion stablished in 2021, Planning By Design is a national consultancy dedicated to providing a five-star service at unbeatable prices. Comprising chartered architects and town planners across the country, the company helps clients to advance and enhance their project wherever they are located. Driven by the goal of providing the highest possible standard of service in the most efficient way, Planning By Design has become renowned throughout the country for saving its clients’ time and money with each project it undertakes. Planning By Design offers a comprehensive suite of services, which can be categorised into four core offerings: planning appraisal, including pre-planning advice to establish requirements, feasibility, costs, and the likelihood of success; architectural design, comprising 2D drawings for planning, 3D drawings and renders, interior design, BIM models, and more; planning permission, preparing, submitting, and managing all types of planning applications; and building regulations and structural engineering calculations, produced as and when required once planning has been approved. Of course, the consultancy prioritises planning appraisal as the first step to every project as it limits the risk of unnecessary expenses if the project has little to no feasibility. The cost of each planning appraisal is then deducted from the project quote, so this vital step comes at no cost if the client chooses to proceed with the project. Planning By Design is committed to client-centricity and strives to work alongside its clients at every step of the way to ensure that the end product reflects their vision, from the initial enquiry right through to completion. This unwavering dedication to client satisfaction has earned Planning By Design a number of remarkable reviews and testimonials from previous clients who have been blown away by consultancy’s exceptional standards. “Planning By Design took all of the hassle and unknowns out of the planning process,” says Jamie. “They responded quickly at each stage and have been so helpful throughout, taking the time to answer every question we had. Their rates are competitive, and I would highly recommend them to everyone.” “Very rapid turnaround for a planning appraisal,” reports Nick, “with a highly thorough and useful report produced. Planning By Design were courteous and professional throughout and were able to helpfully tailor their report to help us understand key considerations that we should use in the future, given our inexperience with the planning process. I would not hesitate to recommend Planning By Design and will use them in the future.” “We contacted Planning By Design to support us with a retrospective planning application, having converted part of our garage into an internal utility room,” writes Kat. “From initial contact to submitting the application to receiving planning approval, they were incredibly professional, kept us fully informed at every stage, and made the whole process very easy for us. We would highly recommend Planning By Design to anyone looking for planning advice and support.” Since 2021, Planning By Design has grown from a small team of three to a robust network of over 30 professionals throughout the country.
