Goddard Planning Consultancy

And now for something completely different

Canterbury-based practice with work throughout the South East and nationally. I specialise in appraisals, applications and appeals and help those who want advice on the development potential of land and buildings or need assistance following refusals of permission. I cover most areas of planning and deal with a wide range of projects, from small to large scale, in urban and rural areas. I strive to provide creative and cost-effective support and advice.

I have extensive experience in local government at a senior level and have acted as consultant for a large number of local authorities. I am a former Planning Inspector.
