John Long Planning

We have known John for many years and have used him on a number of our development projects.  He is our ‘go to’ planning consultant and consistently provides us with honest and sound planning advice.

We have worked with John on a number of strategic urban extension planning applications, the most recent being a 4,000 home scheme at Attleborough.  John has helped to carefully negotiate these very complex proposals through the planning system, from Local Plan promotion to obtaining planning consent. One of John’s strengths is his ability to build excellent working relationships with the project team, the Council Planning Officers and other consultees to ensure that proposals are given the best chance of succeeding.

“Vistry Kent work with John on its Strategic Urban Extension at The Gateway, Bexhill-on-Sea. John has been involved in the scheme for a number of years from its inception, Local Plan allocation and discussions on the site masterplan, through outline consent and reserved matters processes to the discharge of conditions. John’s knowledge of the site’s planning history and evolution over the years, as well as his approachable and pragmatic nature have proven invaluable in helping navigate reserved matters schemes to successful outcomes. John provides the continuity where consultant teams, designers and Council Planning Officers inevitably have changed over the years.
