Please accept this as a testimonial in respect of the work undertaken by Planning Guide (SK Publications Ltd and Ten Media Ltd) in preparing and producing Charnwood Borough Council’s Planning Guide.
We have recently received the finished publication which looks really good (probably better than I had expected), as does the web version with active links in it.
During the pre-planning and production process we found Planning Guide very helpful and supportive, and even though there were some unforeseen delays in our preparing the content we explained the position to Planning Guide and never felt under any pressure from them to rush it through.
We appreciate that these guides are a commercial proposition but Planning Guide were also able to recognise the customer service angle when dealing with potential advertisers, and were responsive when any queries were raised.
The formatting of the content, layout and proofs went very smoothly, and as noted above we are very pleased with the final outcome, with a big Thank You to Peter Ashworth and Dave Haydock in particular for all their work.
Thank you very much with all your help in producing the Liverpool City Council Planning Guide.
The Council is very happy with the final version of the guidance, including the online version with active links, and welcomes the opportunity to tailor the text to ensure it mirrors the way the planning services are provided in our local area. The final product is a very professionally presented guide that I am sure will be very useful to local residents, businesses and developers. I am especially pleased to see that all the adverts are genuinely local businesses.
Throughout the process we have always had a named contact available at Planning Guide who has responded to our enquiries immediately. The Council can recommend Planning Guide to other local planning authorities and have been very satisfied with the service received.
I would certainly recommend that other local authorities embrace having a Planning Guide for their areas.
Peter Ashworth and his colleagues at Planning Guide have worked very closely with West Lindsey District Council to produce a new guide covering the local area.
The Council is very happy with the final version of the guidance and welcomed the opportunity to tailor the text to ensure it mirrored the way the planning services are provided in our local area. The final product is a very professionally presented guide that I am sure will be very useful to local residents, businesses and developers.

Please accept this letter as thanks for the excellent job you did in preparing our first welsh language version of the Planning Guide. We are very pleased with both the printed and electronic versions of the guide, which assists us greatly in complying with The Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 and the Welsh Language Standards.
You and your colleagues were very helpful throughout the process.

Thank you very much with all your help in producing the Hounslow Planning Guide. I received my first copies this week and am really pleased with them. The presentation of the text is exactly how we wanted it, and this will be a really useful guide to applicants, residents associations, and especially ward councillors, who can use this as a reference guide when they speak with residents in their surgeries.
I am especially pleased to see that all the adverts are genuinely local businesses. I didn’t realise that we had such a variety of local tradesmen in the area.
So as well as being promotional material for the council, information for the public and developers, it will assist in promotion of small businesses in the area.
I would certainly recommend that other local authorities embrace having a Planning Guide for their areas.
Just wanted to say thank you for a number of things. Firstly reminding us the advert was due for renewal after the two years as we probably would have missed it. Secondly, the great price you have given us for a better location within the guide and the quick and easy payment plan.
And finally, introducing us to the guide itself, which has more than paid for the adverts with all the leads we had from it.
Advertising in the Planning Guide is a very cost effective way to target consumers who have just been granted planning permission. This target audience is perfect for our business and we have already received calls and emails from our advert.
We will definitely continue to place adverts in our local Planning Guides and may even expand our reach further afield moving forwards. I would highly recommend anyone within the construction industry to consider advertising.
I would just like to let you know that I have been very pleased with the service and feedback we have received since we have advertised in the Cornwall Planning Guide.
We at Sharps Bedrooms usually focus our main advertising budget on National advertising, such as TV and National Press. However, this piece of media was something that caught my eye and thought was worth a trial.
I am pleased to say that after our first three months we have seen some very encouraging results come through, as a direct result of dropping our leaflets with the Cambridge Planning Guide.
Working with the planning guide for the past two years has been a great experience for our organisation. As well as the fact that the planning guide reaches a great audience for our services, the design team (Charmain in particular) has been exceptional to work with. The level of creativity, detail and perfection put into our artwork has come through into other advertising areas of our business. Very professional, highly recommend the guide and the services provided by the entire team.
