Testimonials


Some words from the many letters of thanks received by Plan Research

“I was delighted with the service from Martha, by the way. Very professional and got what we wanted in the end, quite speedily actually, and kept me in the picture throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending Plan Research.”
Mr S, Isle of Wight

“Please accept our thanks for your assistance and advice regarding the application for permission to build our swimming pool. As you know, the Council had originally given us incorrect advice, and you saved us a great deal of hassle when you got involved with our plans. We would highly recommend you to anyone thinking of a development.”
Mr & Mrs F, Isle of Wight

“I would like to commend Martha James & Plan Research for their extremely knowledgeable assistance in assisting me recently in navigating through the complex labyrinth of submissions and requirements to secure a Certificate of Lawfulness from my local District Council. This is not the first time when her deep experience and knowledge has secured a most positive result for my family in providing a way through seemingly impervious and and soul-destroying dealings with my District Council. Martha is sensitive, practical, highly experienced, prompt and a complete expert in these matters. In all of my 45 years of owning properties, I have not encountered anyone with greater expertise in dealing with the most complex and difficult of planning issues.”
Mr M, Hampshire

“Good news at last, thankyou for your perseverance and effort in achieving a successful appeal.”
Mr W, Isle of Wight

“Above and beyond her superlative knowledge, credentials and experience, Martha always displayed a seemingly endless capacity for patience and the ability to make the sometimes incomprehensible simple to understand.”
Mr M, Hampshire

“I took my potential plan to Martha, she gave me great advice, giving reasons when expressing her concerns. She saved me a lot of money. I’ve also recommended Martha to a friend who was refused permission via another business. She turned his plan around and permission was granted. It’s nice to be able to recommend a professional knowing they will get sound advice, be it positive or negative.”
Mr S, Isle of Wight

“WOW, WOW, WOW! We truly did not expect to win our appeal against the New Forest National Park Planning Authority. Martha’s expertise and knowledge were instrumental in the success of our planning appeal… We just couldn’t have managed this without her!”
