My name is Rob and I have worked in the planning sector for over 20 years, primarily in local Council Planning departments in England. In 2020, I set up allPlanning to help people navigate the planning system. My knowledge of the planning system and productive professional relationships with Local Planning Authorities and trusted architects puts me in a perfect position to assist clients in gaining planning permission.

Initially, we expected a simple planning application, but conservation restrictions complicated matters. Engaging Rob at All Planning Limited proved pivotal. Without his expertise, our application would have been rejected. Rob not only kept it alive but also swiftly guided us through necessary adjustments. He collaborated seamlessly with additional surveyors we hired, ensuring timely reports. Regardless of project size or type, I highly recommend All Planning's assistance, especially for work in Waltham Forest and its conservation areas. More...

Rob helped us solve a long-standing planning issue where previous applications had been rejected. From the start, communications were excellent and Rob clearly laid out the path to Approval. In particular, he made sure I was aware of the various different eventualities and costs. He also helped in finding someone to create drawings for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob and his services. More...

Application for building new house at the side of our existing house in Enfield.The local council wanted lots of reports before accepting the application and make it valid.
Rob wrote in personal statement all these and used article 12 to validate the application.
We managed to get planning application approved.Rob at AllPlanning was very helpful and responded to my calls and with his knowledge of planning we managed to get planning permission to build a new dwelling.

When I was planning an extension to my 3 bed in Eltham a friend recommended Rob at allPlanning. I’d heard that Greenwich Council can be difficult. I’m so glad I got in touch with Rob - his expertise and insight were invaluable throughout the process. Rob told me that he used to work at various London Boroughs, and this really showed - his understanding of the inner workings of the planning department seemed to help. His recommendations were spot-on, he always made himself available to answer any questions and he consistently went above and beyond to ensure my project was a success. I can wholeheartedly recommend Rob at allPlanning. More...

Planning application for first floor extension: we used Rob at allPlanning to assist us with obtaining planning permission for a first floor extension at our house in Walthamstow for a badly-needed extra bedroom. We’d heard Waltham Forest could be difficult, so we were so glad to have a professional on our side. Rob seemed to know all the planning requirements and always responded to question super-quick. Our planning application was approved first time (which was important). Thanks Rob! More...

From the beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They took the time to understand our needs and concerns, and provided us with clear and concise guidance throughout the planning process.

John Wright

It was great working with Rob. We had a tricky problem following a scam that required a planning consent application in order to put right. Rob listened and advised very carefully, guiding the process effectively to a successful outcome. On site visits and in meetings he advised sensitively and effectively. Without his expertise we would never have secured the consent we needed. Thanks Rob. More...

Rob was very helpful and his write ip to assist my PD application was excellent. Unfortunately their was a small error on the plans that neither the planner Rob or I picked. Rob was very fair and didn't charge for a resubmit which was successful in less than the standard time due to robes liaison with the planning department. Excellent service. Will definitely use again More...
Angela Pertusini
I asked Rob of allPlanning to help me with a planning application. I'd spoken to a few people and I was never convinced that we would get anywhere but Rob handled everything like a dream and I knew I was in safe hands. The entire process was smooth from start to finish and consent came through a few days ago. Rob was really helpful and friendly and I would definitely employ him again - in fact, I plan to. More...

Rob was super helpful from start to finish. Great communications, very knowledgeable, got the job done. Highly recommend!
What do you love most about your job?
The best thing is when I am successful in helping people achieve their dream - whether it is opening up a new business, getting permission for an extension to their home, or building a new house or even a block of flats. Nothing beats that feeling when the approval lands in my inbox and I'm able to call my client and give them the good news.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I worked within local authority planning departments for my whole career: 20+ years. I might have carried like that forever, but eventually I just had to strike out on my own. All too often, the aspirations of normal people are are unnecessarily crushed by the planning system - I decided that I wanted to help people beat this system.
Why should our clients choose you?
Prospective clients should choose me because I truly care about securing a successful outcome, and will go over and above to do this. But more importantly, I have the depth and breadth of skills - and inside knowledge of local authority planning departments - to ensure the best possible chances for any given proposal.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can provide services remotely and in fact, most of my work is done in this way.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
If face-to-face meetings are required, face masks are always worn, hand sanitiser is used and social distancing practiced where appropriate.
