What our clients say...

  • “Brighton & Hove City Council engaged Lewis & Co to provide a ‘case officer service’ in respect of major planning application for a football stadium, during a period of staff shortage at the council.  The consultancy undertook their work to a professional standard, were adaptable in meeting our requirements and delivered their work within the agreed time and budget”
    Planning Projects Manager, Brighton & Hove City Council
  • “From the moment we instructed Lewis & Co, Joseph set about working up a robust strategy for the promotion of our Sussex site, and clearly demonstrated an in-depth and intimate knowledge of both local planning policies and the needs of the local community to factor into our proposals. He has quickly established himself as one of our go-to planning consultants in the area and from our experience working with him, we can’t recommend him and Lewis & Co Planning highly enough”
    JOEL MERRIS (STRATEGIC PLANNING MANAGER) VISTRY GROUP
  • “It was brilliant to work with Paul Burgess again. He has an unusually keen eye for the key issues in any planning dispute, and an ability to persuade which is attractively understated and very effective. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for sound advice and a positive result.”
    Harriet Townsend (Barrister) Cornerstone Barristers
  • “Lewis & Co. has provided Hyde with clear advice and valuable insight on often complex matters of planning and regeneration law and policy.  Hyde has benefited from the positive and pro-active approach adopted by Lewis & Co and their ability to develop constructive and lasting relationships with extended, multi-disciplinary project teams”
    Tom Shaw (Development Director) Hyde Housing
  • “Luke and the team at Lewis and Co successfully gained us, through the planning appeals system, the planning consent that the council had denied us. Ours was far from a straight forward case and the risk of failure would have been disastrous for ourselves and our family. The calm and professional guidance that the team provided was hugely reassuring and ultimately provided us with our dream home. This along with their willingness to answer with good grace, all questions no matter how trivial is why we fully recommend Lewis and Co to anyone seeking planning advice no matter how complicated it may seem.”
    Lou and Martin Blake Private Client
  • “Lewis & Co provides a friendly and personal service yet they remain comparable to much larger firms in terms of the depth and breadth of their planning knowledge and the ability to deliver high quality work within tight deadlines. We have always found that Lewis & Co have executed every project in the highest professional manner”
    Colin Brace (Director) Boho Green
