welcome to vision planning
Quality advice in every aspect of town and country planning
If you want to apply for planning permission, appeal a refusal, promote your site for development, produce a neighbourhood plan or object to a proposed development, Vision Planning can help.
We provide independent planning advice to developers, landowners and householders, parish councils and community groups across England.
PLANNING APPLICATIONS & APPEALS
BRINGING PLANS TO LIFE
Whether it’s a major new community including homes, schools and shops, or a building in your garden, gaining planning permission can be a complex and lengthy undertaking. We will help guide you through the process and give your application or appeal the best chance of success.
DEVELOPMENT SITE PROMOTION
PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
Our in-depth understanding of the development plan process and land supply requirements enables us to make the best possible case for your site’s allocation.
NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANS
HELP SHAPE YOUR COMMUNITY
How should a community grow? Where could new developments be built? What infrastructure would be needed? By creating neighbourhood plans, local groups can directly influence the way their community changes. We provide the guidance and support required to do just that.
OBJECTIONS
GET YOUR VOICE HEARD
Are you concerned about a proposed extension next door or a new housing development in fields nearby? We will help to get the best outcome for you – whether that means changing the plans, or objecting to the principle of the development.

MORE THAN 20 YEAR'S EXPERIENCE
Benefit from the knowledge we have gathered from two decades in private and public sector planning.
PERSONAL
APPROACH
Friendly, professional service led by Stuart Miles, Director of Vision Planning.
Residential developments
We have a strong track record of success with residential
developments large and small.
Five year housing land supply
Not enough homes are being built in some areas. This could be an opportunity to get planning permission for new homes. We can make that case.
Neighbourhood plans
By creating neighbourhood plans, local groups can influence how their community changes. We provide the guidance and support to do just that.
Single new dwellings/annexes
Whether you have land big enough for a new house or want to create an annexe or garden room, talk to us.
Commercial, retail and leisure developments
We can help get planning permission for a
range of other developments.
Agricultural buildings / rural worker's dwellings
If you need a new agricultural building or help with
a rural worker’s dwelling, we can help.
Objections
If you are affected by a development proposal that you don’t like,
we can help you to get it changed or stopped.
Environmental Impact Assessment
Larger developments might need an EIA.
We can help with this.
Community Infrastructure Levy
Vision Planning advises developers and landowners about the
technicalities of the CIL and S106 obligations.
I’ve worked with many planning consultants over the years as an agricultural and equine expert and I often tell my clients that a successful planning application is much more likely if they have the right team in place. I can honestly say that there are only four consultants across the country that I could wholeheartedly recommend as people who are not only excellent in their line of business, but are also helpful and a pleasure to work with. Stuart Miles is definitely one of them.
Rebecca Wilson
Equine Consultancy Group
Stuart was instructed to deal with a breach of condition that was being enforced by Wiltshire council. He worked with us and kept us informed throughout the whole process of the planning and was professional throughout. Stuart was quick to deal with this and come up with a solution to give an outcome that we wanted. I would highly recommend Stuart or his team.
Craig Fulford
Private client, Wiltshire
We required timely expert advice on a planning matter and found Vision Planning responsive and we appreciated the excellent support and guidance we received. Stuart listened intently to our query, asked searching questions and then responded to meet our pressing deadline with first rate advice and guidance. Stuart was recommended to us through an existing client of Vision Planning who spoke highly of the service, we were not disappointed and our expectations were more than met. A first rate service – thank you.
Gordon Macpherson
Malmesbury Town Team
We were introduced to Vision Planning by our QC and from the initial proposal we received we were impressed. Impressed by the logical and pragmatic approach proposed as compared to other proposal we received which seemed fluffy and open-ended. We had a very complex project with some very well funded and motivated groups that we had to square off with. Vision Planning executed perfectly and gave us ad hoc suggestions along the way helping to orchestrate our efforts and drive the right decisions by the council and consultees. Finally, the communication was exceptional, always timely, short and effective. We always felt that Vision Planning had our best interests at heart and I would not hesitate to recommend them for any planning matter, no matter how large or small.
