Holt Parish Council would like to thank planning consultant Vaughan Thompson MRTPI for his outstanding support during our work on Reserved Matters application PL/2024/04625.
Vaughan helped guide us through creating Holt’s first-ever Character Statement, helping us better understand and articulate the features that make our village special. Vaughan gave us the language and planning context to explain why they matter in good design.
His expert advice gave our planning objections strength, clarity, and confidence. If your community is facing a planning challenge, we’d highly recommend Vaughan for his professionalism, insight, and collaborative approach.
