I had an excellent experience with 4D Planning from start to finish. They handled our planning application professionally and guided us through every stage of the process. The team prepared high-quality architectural drawings, submitted the application to the council, and kept us updated throughout. They also worked on the building regulations package and were always available to answer questions and provide clear advice. Communication was prompt, the service was efficient, and everything was completed to a very high standard. I would highly recommend 4D Planning to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable planning and architectural team. Thank you for your excellent support!

4D Planning

4D Planning – a true 5 Star Chartered Planning Consultancy with excellent straightforward service!
I needed to apply for the lawful development of my property, converted into 2 self-contained flats and 4D Planning managed the entire process from start to finish in a straightforward and efficient manner all at very reasonable cost.
One late afternoon I picked up the phone and spoke to Elie over my case. That was it. He fully guided me what needs to be done. Then I spoke to Galit and to James, all correspondence was excellent throughout – very professional.
Thanks to their professionalism our application was approved by the Council and I am really happy by the outcome.

Excellent Straightforward Service from Start to Finish.

We needed a company to handle technical drawings, a heritage statement, and a Listed Building Consent application for structural repairs to our Grade II listed property. 4D Planning managed the entire process in a straightforward and efficient manner all at very reasonable cost.

Communication from the team we dealt with — Elie, Adrian, Galit, and James — was excellent throughout. All questions were answered quickly and they ensured we were completely happy with the plans and application, incorporating any amendments without difficulty.

Thanks to their expertise, our application was approved by what tends to be an exacting Council. I’m very pleased with the results and would gladly work with 4D Planning again.

Excellent service - Planning permission granted!

4D Planning helped us obtain planning permission for our commercial kitchen at Unit 10, Nottingham.

The application process was challenging due to delays from the Council, but the team at 4D Planning - Galit, James, and Elie - were professional, persistent, and kept us informed throughout.

They handled all communications with the Council, provided clear advice, and successfully secured approval for our change of use application with our requested operating hours (10am to midnight).

Highly recommend 4D Planning for anyone needing help with planning applications.

Thank you to the whole team!

The team was exceptionally efficient

The team was exceptionally efficient, quick to respond, and truly grasped our design requirements. I consulted with various architects regarding a planning application for a first-floor side extension, and many experts told us it was unfeasible. However, Elie, Galit, and their team successfully achieved it. Their service was incredibly valuable. A big thank you to Elie and Galit.
