What first appeared to be such a complicated process was made extremely simple and stress free with 4D Planning and approval was received within the agreed timescale.
I would highly recommend 4D planning.
Elie and James at 4D Planning worked with with us to obtain planning permission for a new 2 bed house in SE London. A different firm had reviewed our plan and stated the project was a non runner. However, 4D Planning took the job and by working on several design issues were able to achieve planning permission. The design works well, looks good and fitted our brief. They are up front with fees and charge a fair rate for a good job. I'll be using 4D again and shall recommend them.

James was clear and honest throughout the whole process. His team assessed the land and give great advice and amendments during the process. Communication was easy and precise. And most importantly the application was accepted. Would recommend and will use in future.

This company were great very efficient, prompt and dealt with all my questions very well. Would recommend strongly!
We had some previously approved plans which didn't really achieve what we wanted. Graham was our Consultant who helped us get our plans revised, and worked with the local planning authority to ensure they were approved, to get as close as possible to what we wanted. Always happy to talk and responds to comms very quickly.
4D Planning were great. They did exactly what I needed and got the required planning application with the minimum of fuss. No complaints really.
We dealt with Elie Osborne at 4D planning, who was always helpful and informed. I would recommend them for their reasonable costs and professionalism throughout the planning application for our roof terrace.
Great communication. Very professional and knowledgable about the area. A pleasure to deal with
We recently applied to relocate an internal staircase for a commercial property and I have to say Elie and the team at 4D planning was very helpful throughout the process. I would highly recommend for any planning work especially within London.
Dealing with Graham is an absolute pleasure and following exchange of details, he dealt with all the planning applications and permits required on our project in Central London. Graham checked in regularly with updates and was always on the other end when I had queries relating to any planning issues, patiently answering my questions. The whole planning process is made easy by engaging 4D Planning to take this on so we can concentrate on other aspects of the project. Can highly recommend!
Elie and 4D were excellent to deal with in our planning application.
Following engagement with Elie he provided instant confidential and a range of experience in being able to meet our requirements. It was never an issue to pick up the phone and discuss my concerns or queries with Elie which is a great customer skill to have.
Elie and his team were efficient, always available and patient. They also managed to successfully gain us approval for our property extension which was a pleasing outcome.
Thankyou 4D planning and Elie.
I commissioned 4D Planning to help me prepare and submit all necessary drawings, plans and documents for a retrospective planning permission. They were very professional and helpful throughout the process and the application was successful. They were also very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them.
We have a project of converting carehome into apartments. This was our first experience to apply for planning permission from council. 4D planning was really helpful, particularly Elie. First of all, they gave us a very clear outline and cost breakdown structure. There was no confusion and hidden costs. They were patient with our ideas and minor amendments throughout the process. We had regular meetings online. They all were friendly and committed to great service.Highly recommend !!!
A job well done, goal achieved, very happy with their service
Elie was great he took the job and got it done! I run an interior design and construction business and the key is people like Elie joining our team and getting things done and he did exactly that. Very little stress and all approved so could not recommend more highly.
