Here you go, and if she can’t help she may well be able to point you to someone closer who can. Good luck.

Ah, I’ve just reread her website and she does the south of England but stops at Sussex, it still may be worth getting in touch though, can’t hurt. 
 


 

 

Thank you very much, I will call and see if she can advise or recommend someone local to me.

We had a very similar challenge. Own the land, part of which is / was an orchard. We built on that old orchard.  'Chocolate Box' countryside: lots of opposition. Getting on with people , while useful, is a periforal issue. Its the quality of the support - or objections - that count. The key theme is is whether the objection (or support)  is Material to the Application

 

Local Planner is the next stop. Choose carefully. That isn't easy.

Thank you. Do you mind me asking what you built, did they agree to something modern or was it a style that would fit with the local chocolate box vernacular? This is another query in my mind, is it better to propose a design that looks like it's always been there or something 'of our time' to illustrate a difference of era?
