Leading property and planning advisers Berrys has been chosen as the number one planning consultancy by property website Renovate Me.

Berrys, which has offices in Shropshire, Cheshire, Northamptonshire and Herefordshire, will now be the first port of call for website browsers looking for planning services.

Renovate me is a website specialising in all renovation projects from building plots to derelict properties, repossessed houses, land or barns, centralising all aspects on one website.

Part of the website is devoted to planning and Berrys was chosen to provide the necessary advice and services.

“It was important to find a well-resourced firm with substantial experience of all planning issues which can operate nationally,” said Sarah Pugh, a director of Renovate Me.

“I’m delighted that I was able to use a Shropshire firm to be the planning experts for Renovate Me,” she added.

Berrys’ services can be accessed via the website and members of the planning team will write a regular blog giving useful tips and advice to people looking to renovate a property or with a project on the go.

“With our in-depth knowledge of planning policy at a national and local level, the planning team at Berrys has extensive experience of gaining planning approval for residential development schemes ranging from single houses and self-build projects to large scale development sites,” explained Stuart Thomas, partner and head of planning at Berrys.

“We can assist in selecting the best sites and with our in-house planning experts, design and architectural professionals, experienced landscape and technical team and surveying/valuation specialists we can help with the complete planning process from start to finish,” he added.
