Brilliant company

Brilliant company . Very prompt response and exceptional service.
We asked for help with a difficult planning problem and our options were explored and advice given in a concise and formal manner then explained in a way which we could fully understand. All our questions were answered promptly. Very helpful.
We will use Eldnar again.
Thank you.

A brilliant service provided

Eldnar were really quick in responding to my initial query and provided a very clear idea of how they could help with my planning application. The documentation they provided in support of my application was sent over very promptly and it professionally and throughly dealt with the issues I needed addressing. The team were easy to work with and I will certainly use their services again should I have any planning needs.

I can highly recommend Eleni

I can highly recommend Eleni. Very fast and efficient. I needed planning permission to build a garden room in a conservation area where Permitted Development Rights have been removed. Pre-planning advice from the local planning office said they would noy support my application. Eleni wrote up my application in the context of why the PDR had been removed. My application was approved without amendment.

Our solicitor recommended we should contact Eleni around two years ago in connection with a planning issue. Since then she has assisted us on a number of occasions and as well as being quick to respond and highly professional, she is very knowledgeable.

Won the Appeal!

Eleni was highly recommended by our architect to challenge a Prior Approval Class AA (Sch 2 Part 1) LPA refusal. In my experience, Eleni is one of the very best out there with honest, prompt and most cost-effective in her approach.
I found her very modest and easy to work with. Highly recommend her. Thank you.

Eleni has supported me with the Class Q- permitted development planning process since early 2021 , she has been responsive and has extensive knowledge within her field of work . Eleni and Beth who has joined Eldnar Consultancy have kept me up to date with the process and discussed options that I have and I am now pleased to say that I now have approval to convert a lovely green cow shed into my home . Lots of work has happened and even more work lies ahead but looking forward to the adventure , design and build.

I needed a certificate of lawful development for a cabin, and was recommended Eldnar by a planning barrister. Brilliant, rapid service, great communication, approachable and plain-English explanations, and super-reasonable costs which were explained up-front. Plus, what a lovely dog. What more could you want?

The Black Barn, Cowsden

Dear Eleni,

Thank you for your hard work to gain both the change of use, and planning permission for my new building .

With your knowledge of the planning process and development legislation, and your experience of the council's requirements, the applications were dealt with efficiently, effectively, and all within the time frame you had predicted.

I look forward to dealing with Eldnar again in the future.

Kind regards,

Mark Baker.

Damson Cottage

We are currently undertaking a full property renovation which was a daunting prospect.
Throughout the project, Eleni has been prompt, attentive and professional and her guidance has been invaluable.

We have some other projects in the pipeline and Eleni will be our first contact!

We have no hesitation in recommending her to others.

In my 36 years in business Eleni is the best planning consultant I have ever had, quick to respond and gets the job done, extremely helpful, honest and efficient, she knows what to do and when.
I could not reccomend Eleni enough, I heard about her from a friend who was singing her praises. I contacted Eleni the next day and so far she has helped us with six applications, saved us money and time where possible.

Just what I wanted...

To find someone that listens, understand and delivers is rare these days...

To find someone who has the knowledge to obtain your ultimate dream and goal and "holds your hand" through the whole process, gives you the most reassuring feeling.

I highly recommend Eldnar Consultancy especially if you know you have a challenge ahead of you... That's the speciality!

** Eleni literally saved me £500k today **

I take my own land though planning and am no stranger to unconditional acquisitions of sites with unusual constraints or technical challenges. However, I strongly believe the best place to start when deciding to acquire is to employ a planning consultant at the pre contract stage.

I recently asked Eleni to undertake a feasibility study on a site I was considering buying that, ostensibly, I thought had great potential. A few hours of her time, however, turned up planning issues that I would never have anticipated and resulted in her recommendation to avoid the site in favour of alternative opportunities.

I choose to work with Eleni because her unique skills and triple accreditation: MRPTI/FRICS/FAAV... (*and* RICS Registered Valuer... *and* Planning Inspector) gives me the confidence that her advice is bulletproof.

She's far too modest to admit it, but she regularly saves me (and doubtless many others) from horrendous mistakes, and in my personal opinion doesn't charge enough for what she does by half.

If you are looking at acquiring a site for development, I cannot recommend her feasibility assessment service highly enough. 11/10.
