Emily and Rachael were so helpful the whole way through our planning application. They provided advice and answered any questions we had as well as providing a professional service which successfully got our planning application approved. We wouldn't hesitate to use Atticus planning again, thank you both.

We have worked with Emily on several projects over the last few years, achieving permissions in sensitive historical settings and within our many protected local landscapes including National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Conservation Areas. The service from Atticus is always superb. Professional, personable and extremely thorough. Emily is a collaborative thinker and her rigorous understanding of policy and process ensures each application stands the best chance of success. We can not recommend Atticus highly enough for residential or commercial projects of any scale.

Vessel Architects

Atticus Planning are superb. They acted on my behalf as agent for a planning submission that has recently been granted. The project is a new build house on a town centre site. They put together a thorough and professional submission working in conjunction with the architect. Right from the beginning I felt I could trust them and I was in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. It was clear they have the knowledge, experience and personality necessary to work at a very high standard. This was reflected throughout the process when the application hit the inevitable stumbling blocks. The advice they gave me was considered, calm and there was always clarity. They way they handled the planning department, as I could see from email chains, was a very good balance of warmth & connection yet strength and directness in order to establish a strong position. They made it clear what they expected & required. I have no hesitation in recommending them, and have done.

We were thrilled with the work Atticus Planning did for us. They secured planning permission for a replacement dwelling on Dartmoor for us. Emily was honest from the start, highlighting the challenges and managing our expectations. We knew that getting planning permission in the park can be a challenge, but Emily and her team’s professionalism, friendly approach and expert knowledge of the area’s policies got us the result we wanted and we are delighted. We highly recommend Atticus for any planning related work.

Louise

As an architect in South Devon I have worked with Emily at Atticus on a few residential projects now involving change of use, class Q etc. She is intelligent, insightful, knowledgeable and easy to get along with but she also knows how to put her foot down when planning authorities (as happens fairly often) throw you a curve ball. I recommend her services to all my clients and would in fact be reluctant now to go through planning without her assistance. Thanks for your help so far all at Atticus and keep up the good work!
