Client Testimonials
Hear from our clients who have navigated the planning process with our guidance.
“Warwickshire Rural Housing Association has been working with Gary Moss of MSC Planners for almost 10 years. His planning knowledge and exceptional service has been critical to the delivery of much needed affordable homes for local people in villages across Stratford on Avon. We look forward to working with him to facilitate many more affordable homes.”
“We have had the pleasure of working along side Gary Moss at MSC Planning Associates on our last two projects. The first project Border fencing was challenging to say the least. From the outset it became very apparent that to gain planning permission our strategy throughout the process would need to be very in-depth. We were successful with the appeal and we believe this was down to Garys determination and being persistent. Gary’s knowledge and expertise throughout the process was to be admired.”
“We had beautiful Victorian brick farm buildings which were no longer suitable for modern farming practices and adjacent cattle yards. We approached Gary Moss to ask him to advise us how to move forward with a planning application on the whole site. We needed to secure the long term integrity and aesthetics of the traditional buildings with an alternative function whilst maximising the potential for the whole site.
This would preserve both the fabric of the structures and the heritage of the barns. Gary managed the planning application through full planning on the Victorian Barns and a Class Q application on the newer buildings. His vast knowledge of planning law and rules was apparent as was his advice when sourcing quotes and specialists to measure the site, design complementary residential plans, surveying for ecology reports, contamination surveys and liaising with the Case Officer. Gary listened to our views, advised, sourced and liaised on our behalf making the whole process simple and stress free for us. He guided us through the whole process and we would recommend him.”
