Book a paid planning consultation with Ian
If you need planning advice rather than a quotation for a defined piece of work, a Zoom or telephone consultation with Ian Walmsley is usually the quickest way to talk through the problem and work out the next step.
Choose either a 30-minute or 60-minute session below and then select an available time. The meeting can be used for a proposed development, permitted development question, refusal, appeal, enforcement issue, change of use, rural project or another planning matter.
If you would rather have us investigate one defined site-specific planning question and give you a concise written view, see our Planning Review service.
If what you actually need is for Planning Geek to undertake the work, you can request a fee proposal instead.
Advice first, instruction later?
If you have a paid Zoom consultation before we issue a fee proposal and you then instruct Planning Geek to prepare the same planning application for the same site, we will deduct the cost of one Zoom consultation from our professional fee for that application. Zoom consultations booked after a fee proposal has been issued, or after instruction, are additional consultancy and are not credited.

If your situation is urgent and no suitable time is showing, use our contact form. We can sometimes make an additional slot available manually.
Zoom and telephone consultations are subject to our Terms & Conditions. Guidance during the consultation is preliminary and is based on the information available at the time.
