What do you love most about your job?

It is always a pleasure to see our clients get their planning permission for the extension or development that they have been dreaming of.

What inspired you to start your own business?

Simon started the business after being a Planning Officer for a Local Authority but his drive and enthusiasm make him ideally suited to helping the applicants. We have been friends for over 30 years and my CAD background and administative qualities ensure SJM Planning is always looking forwards.

Why should our clients choose you?

We won't take on a job we don't believe in. We hate telling clients that "unfortunately your planning application has been refused"; thankfully we don't hear that very often!
We are clear on our costs and a price is set from the outset, we will advise on any third party costs and we have a range of third-party consultants that we trust.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

We do offer a remote service for Planning Consultancy - the planning process is the same nationwide and all local policies are available online.

Although based in West Kent we have undertaken projects across England and Wales including East Yorkshire, Cornwall, Essex and Cardiff.

I approached Niall Tutton to do my planning project in the New Forest after my previous planner failed to make any progress, wasted my time and money. Niall was courteous ,professional ,kept all his promises and pursued the application regularly ,sorting all obstacles that arose and kept me updated without even me asking and finally i got the approval through his meticulous work and perseverance . I can not praise this company enough ,they take pride in what they do and look after there customers. Well done and thank you .

Petre has been fantastic to work with from start to finish. He handled our planning application for the change of use and extension and guided us through the entire process with patience, professionalism, and clear communication. He was always proactive with the council, kept us updated at every stage and went above and beyond to make sure the application was approved, even helping to resolve unexpected requests quickly. It’s rare to find someone who’s both technically excellent and genuinely invested in achieving a successful outcome. Would definitely recommend Petre and PRAiA Studio to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable architect in Bristol!

David was appointed as the surveyor for our Party Wall Agreement and managed a complex situation with professionalism and clarity throughout. His communication was always clear and calm — even when neighbour discussions became challenging. He explained the process in plain language and made sure everything was handled properly from start to finish. I really appreciated his balanced approach and the way he kept things on track. Would definitely recommend David for anyone needing an experienced, fair, and professional Party Wall Surveyor.
