“Throughout the process I was impressed with Jill’s expertise and knowledge, especially when this culminated in the planning application that was so well researched and put together. Not only this but Jill is a pleasure to deal with. She is approachable, always happy to help and a calm presence in what can be a stressful period.”

“The process of gaining planning permission for a sizable commercial development on a 3.5 acre plot in a rural location was never going to be easy. However, Kathryn at Bourne Rural, with a rare combination of care, diligence, wealth of knowledge and expertise, saw this through to an overwhelmingly successful conclusion.
If you’re looking for added value and the best service available to get your project through to the most successful possible outcome for the investment required, I can’t recommend Kathryn and Bourne Rural highly enough.”

“We bought a 16 acre field and got Jill on board at the beginning to make sure we had a solid strategy. She helped us with every aspect of setting up the business from planning advice, business projections, livestock management and the most important of all - dealing with the Local Authority. Jill secured us our permission for a mobile home for 3 years and with her unlimited knowledge of the farming business our venture went from strength to strength. She then went on to get us our permission for a permanent dwelling!”
— Donna L — Application for temporary and permanent dwellings in the South Downs National Park
