Atticus Planning -

Vessel Architects

We have worked with Emily on several projects over the last few years, achieving permissions in sensitive historical settings and within our many protected local landscapes including National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Conservation Areas.

The service from Atticus is always superb. Professional, personable and extremely thorough. Emily is a collaborative thinker and her rigorous understanding of policy and process ensures each application stands the best chance of success. We can not recommend Atticus highly enough for residential or commercial projects of any scale.

As an architect in South Devon I have worked with Emily at Atticus on a few residential projects now involving change of use, class Q etc. She is intelligent, insightful, knowledgeable and easy to get along with but she also knows how to put her foot down when planning authorities (as happens fairly often) throw you a curve ball. I recommend her services to all my clients and would in fact be reluctant now to go through planning without her assistance. Thanks for your help so far all at Atticus and keep up the good work!

Emily and the Atticus team have got the desired result on 3 projects in the last 12 months. Easy to deal with and a pain free process, will certainly be using again.

Atticus Planning are superb. They acted on my behalf as agent for a planning submission that has recently been granted. The project is a new build house on a town centre site.
They put together a thorough and professional submission working in conjunction with the architect. Right from the beginning I felt I could trust them and I was in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. It was clear they have the knowledge, experience and personality necessary to work at a very high standard.
This was reflected throughout the process when the application hit the inevitable stumbling blocks. The advice they gave me was considered, calm and there was always clarity. They way they handled the planning department, as I could see from email chains, was a very good balance of warmth & connection yet strength and directness in order to establish a strong position. They made it clear what they expected & required.
I have no hesitation in recommending them, and have done.

Planning can be a roller coaster ride and very frustrating. You need someone like Emily to strike fear into the planning gods. Atticus will get you over the line.

Emily at Atticus planning has helped us hugely with many projects. Her advice at the very early stages of a project is invaluable to assist in feasibility and scope. Her policy knowledge and approach to providing clear, concise advice is a breath of fresh air and helpful for us and our clients. Her assistance in submitting and navigating complex planning applications is a great support.

Atticus assist us with new build developments, domestic projects, change of use of existing or historic buildings, and commercial projects; all of which located within the sensitive landscapes of the South West.

We look forward to many more projects working with Atticus and Emily in the future, and recommend highly to anyone needing planning advice or assistance.
