James Wells Planning Consultancy
I have been in the business as a Chartered Town Planner since 1999, and over the years, have worked with both the public and private sectors across Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.
In 2012, I established my own business, and started working as an Independent Planning Consultant. As a Chartered Planner, I am a member of the RTPI (Royal Town Planning Institute) – who represent the gold standard of planning practice. This enables me to further my offering, as I undertake continuous professional development to remain competitive, and stay ahead of the game with regard to new developments, legislation and planning knowledge – all of which are advantageous to you, as my clients. I believe in delivering a personal service, using a collaborative and non-corporate approach.
