'I would like to recommend Emma Jones from Acer Town Planning. At Pride Road Architects we specialise in single and two story extensions, loft conversions, cellar conversions, garage conversions et cetera for domestic clients. We look at projects across many different councils, sometimes properties are in green belts, conservation areas, national parks. We work with both planning permissions and permitted development. Most of the time applications are straightforward but whenever I need specialist help I know I can call on Emma for advice and to support our applications!'

'Emma takes a detailed but holistic view in determining the right strategy to gain the best outcome for her clients. She works very much as an extension of the client's internal team as she’s passionate and well-rounded in decision making and giving good advice. Emma has also produced some excellent written statements which are concise, but in-depth and succinct; which makes reading easy to follow whilst being technical and informative.'

'We assigned Acer Town Planning to help us with a tricky planning permission. Having initially done it myself (never again) it very quickly became apparent that the terms set out were not clear and concise. Our new bar to be needed a further change of use... Emma was on the ball immediately and kept in touch at every step. Last month our consent approval was granted after a few long months and we are extremely satisfied we now have a new change of use. Our bar opens in a couple of weeks and thanks to Acer Town Planning we have clarified big changes that needed to be made.'
