“WS Planning & Architecture have provided Epsom and Ewell Borough Council with consultancy support since 2003. This involves the outsourcing of a proportion of the planning casework. Planning applications have been assessed and reports prepared on a weekly basis for the past 8 years. This has helped to provide resilience to the Council’s Planning service and the longevity of the arrangement reflects the Council’s satisfaction with their work.  WS Planning & Architecture have been responsive and reliable at all times and provide a professional competent and cost efficient service. I would not hesitate to recommend them to other local authorities considering a similar arrangement.”
