Robert Fox has 24 years' experience as a rural planning consultant, providing independent advice to local planning authorities, individuals, rural-based businesses, planning consultants and architects.

For planning authorities:
Independent appraisal reports, statements of case and ad hoc advice on rural-based applications such as rural workers' dwellings, buildings, change of use, permitted development, and removal of planning restrictions.
For planning consultants and architects:
Robust justification statements and business plans, to accompany agricultural, equestrian and other rural enterprise applications.
For individuals and rural businesses:
An initial opinion of likely success and the approach that needs to be taken. Submission of planning applications on a wide range of cases from agricultural dwellings and buildings, through to change of use and listed buildings.
Applications are accompanied by detailed planning statements and justification reports, as well as business plans where appropriate.
Appeals and inquiries
If cases get to appeal stage, Robert has a wealth of experience in representing clients at hearings and inquiries, and has a very high success rate.
