The team at Keen Planning have been excellent. They are efficient and had fantastic communication with me throughout my town planning application process. Claire and Nick both took part in dealing with my case, and I always knew they were just a phone call away to discuss my issues/queries.
Would highly recommend Keen Planning.

If I only I'd have engaged Keen Planning sooner. Extremely professional and easy to work with. No matter how complicated or frustrating the planning issue is, they are able to untangle things and put them on track and keep them moving to a successful conclusion. Highly recommend. They deliver.

Very bad experience. Do not use them. Absolutely rip off and watch out for a big surprise invoice at the end

Very professional organisation to deal with. Keen Planning listened and fully understood the sensitive nature of our Council application and ultimately achieved a successful outcome. Would definitely use again on our next project.

These guys are very professional and more than competent. We dealt with the Director Bruce Keen, but mainly with Jason Barnfather, who was terrific. Also got to know Jesse too. He was an important part of the team.
