Testimonials

"Bruntwood have worked with Paul Butler associates on a wide range of buildings and complex planning applications for many years, including those relating to listed buildings, conservation areas, change of use, alterations to and extensions of existing structures. Their advice right from feasibility and pre-application stages through to determination and discharge of conditions has been incredibly valuable and has enabled the applications to be approached and concluded in the most efficient way. The team at PBA are incredibly thorough and ensure all of our applications and discussions are detailed appropriately and set up to be successful."
