    IMO A Planning Consultant is a person experienced in planning law, planning permissions and planning appeals.

    He / She may have a formal qualification in urban / town planning or be an experienced Architectural Technician, Architect or Engineer. A number of retired Council Planners become self-employed Consultants.

    Fee would depend on task. Time is money, so more detail is required in order to answer your question.

    As with all quotes, get at least 3 quotes from recommendations /reputation or at worst let your fingers do the walking!

    I hope you are joking!
    As it might seem that you are implying "friendship" gets permissions granted! Maybe I am misreading your post - hopefully I am. The days of alledged "brown envelopes" are over! (At least they should be)

    I hope a Professional can rely on his skill, hard work and knowledge to achieve his goals, not "dubious" friendships and back-scratching.

    Does an Accountant know all the Tax Inspectors by their first name and have to be best mates with them?:confused:
    Does a Solicitor live in a Judges ear so his criminal clients get away scot free? :D



    Mod edit: Sorry RKQ but as the quoted post has now been deleted I had to remove it above
