Fantastic service from Binney and Sims who were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. Planning matters are always a cause for concern, especially if it’s something you are unsure about- but we felt all our worries and questions were dealt with confidently with patience. Highly recommended!!

Recently asked Messrs Binney and Sims to carry out a small design project and submit the associated planning application on my behalf. Really prompt service, met my requirements and submitted application in very short order.
Would recommend and be more than happy to use again

We were so impressed by Binney & Sims Design and couldn't recommend them more. We engaged them to obtain planning permission for construction of an outbuilding/office, which all went smoothly and to schedule. Katie and Charlotte advised and communicated really well and made the process feel straight forward and enjoyable!

Thank you so much for such a kind review Simon. We are so glad we could make the process feel straight forward and enjoyable.
We used Binney and Sims Ltd for a renovation project in a conservation area. The team made the whole process stress free and enjoyable. They communicated at every phase and worked efficiently to get a positive result.
We look forward to working with Binney & Sims Ltd again in the future!

Hi Gemma! Thank you so much for your kind words. It would be a pleasure to work with you again in the future :-)
We approached Binney and Sims in summer 2022 to design a 2 storey extension integrating a new kitchen and master bedroom. We were presented with multiple fantastic options within a few weeks of initial inquiry, and they were very responsive to our small tweaks. They possess a high level of technical competence (as well as brilliant design minds) meaning you're not left with an unbuildable design!
They clearly have well versed in dealing with council planners, and know what may or may not get approved, and how to go about it. The whole application process was handled with great aplomb despite the odd pushback, and we are thrilled to have received planning approval within 3 months. Importantly, you can easily get hold of the team for any queries. Essentially, they made our life very easy and delivered beyond expectations.

Hi Jamie. Thank you so much for a kind review. We absolutely loved working on this project and we are so thrilled to know that you were so happy with our service. Thank you so much for your kind words.
We approached Binney and Sims to design a single storey pan-tiled kitchen-diner extension to the ground floor of our house in Cambridgeshire. The existing house is a nightmare of different construction across at least 2 centuries and no 2 walls are perpendicular to each other or the ground upon which they sit. To add to the confusion, our plans also needed to get rid of a dilapidated 1980s-built conservatory. From the outset Binney and Sims were right on top of our brief. They made a thorough survey of our site and came up with a great first set of drawings. Inevitably, the visualisation that these provided gave us more to think about and prompted a rethink of our original approach. As our plans evolved we became doubtful how things would eventually look on the ground and, so, Binney and Sims produced a 3-D view to help us visualise the ideas involved. When it came to dealing with the Parish Council over Planning Permission and their muppet objections about bat nests, underground water courses and the duck pond half a mile away Binney and Sims took it all on so we didn't have to. They ran with all this throughout and didn't charge us a penny over their originally quoted fee. Every one of our many e-mails was answered politely, thoroughly and quickly. Couldn't have asked for a better, more responsive service and absolutely delighted to be moving forward with the dream plan for our home.

Hi Alison! Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation. We appreciate the time taken to leave such a kind review.
Great advice and examples of previous work given to us when meeting Katie to arrange for our extension and garage conversion. Plans completed and returned to us in a timely manner. Very helpful at providing practical solutions for the extension to our Ground Floor layout. The garage conversion is complete and we are looking forward starting the extension later this year. Would happily recommend to others.

Hi Adam Thank you so much for your kind words and your kind recommendations!
Katie and Heather helped us to design our L-shaped extension on the back of our house and a small one on the front. Their suggestions were really helpful and led to a much better design than we originally planned on. They also helped us with our structural engineer when we couldn't get hold of them and helped us find the right trades for the job. Fully recommend their services

We have used Binney and Sims for two extensions on different houses. Katie provided excellent drawings and was very helpful suggesting builders that she knew would carry out professional work. Binney and Sims sorted all of the planning applications and were very helpful with any queries during the process. Very user friendly including making last minute alterations to drawings when requested. Have already and would continue to recommend the company.

Hi Sam, thank you so much for your kind words.
Binney and Sims designed a ground-floor extension and garage conversion for us in late 2020, and provided a fantastic service. Katie, the architect, was incredibly helpful throughout the design process, creating a wonderful plan based on our initial wishlist. The team then managed the whole planning permission process on our behalf, making it totally painless. They also recommend an excellent construction company and briefed them on the work. We're delighted with the end results, and very grateful to all at Binney and Sims for turning our vague plans into really lovely extra living space.

Hi Corrine, Thank you so much for your kind words.
Today we received our planning permissions Approval, still early days but it was great working with Binney & Sims Ltd. Not only did they provide the diagrams for our extension but they explained the process end 2 end, provided estimates for builds and keeping us updated on the progress of our planning application. Would highly recommend.

Binney & Sims were absolutely fantastic. They helped me right from the start of the planning application, kept me up to date throughout the entire process, and once planning was approved, they sent it all through to me straight away.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services and will definitely work with them again going forwards.
