If you have been refused planning permission by Kensington and Chelsea Council more than once, and want to make an appeal, our specialist consultant will be happy to prepare a planning appeal on your behalf. Firstly we will research the application and reasons for refusal. We will then advise on the chances of a successful appeal. If we believe that an appeal is not likely to be successful, we will be the first to let you know, and at the same time, we will suggest alternative options to progress your development if feasible. This might mean a revised design and a revised application or perhaps a different type of application etc.
Whether you are applying for a rear / side extension, loft conversion with dormers, conversion to flats, new build house, change of use to a commercial property or alterations to a listed property, we have you covered and will assist with your project on your behalf. We can also assist with advertisement consent, solar panels, discharge of condition, projects involving offices, shops, schools, community centres or a nursing care home in South Kensington. We can help you and give you the advice you need to obtain planning permission and building control approval.

Elie was great he took the job and got it done! I run an interior design and construction business and the key is people like Elie joining our team and getting things done and he did exactly that. Very little stress and all approved so could not recommend more highly
Z. Wood
Elie gave me invaluable advice, which in turn saved me a lot of time and money. He has the patience of a saint! I changed my mind numerous times and he adapted the plans straight away (as long as my request was conducive), and his charges are very competitive, he's also dedicated so you can't go wrong by selecting his company.

I would recommend 4D Planning highly. It is an honest planning company who take a very personal approach and strive to achieve your goals. They are realistic, reasonable and highly recommended.
J.F Cardella
Exceptional service, solid knowledge, no nonsense, fast turnaround without cutting corners, they are definitely on top of their game. If you have a complex planning project or planning issues they will do whatever it takes to help you resolve it. How refreshing?! Very impressed by Elie's approach and knowledge but the entire team is first class.
