Jamie was pro-active, clear, and always communicative. They thought outside the box and gave strategic advice to ensure that our application was successful. Jamie's team drove the application forward with such efficiency that we received the decision notice before its due date.

We are experienced property developers with a diverse portfolio of commercial properties in North Wales and we will absolutely be instructing Jamie and his team again to act as our planning consultants. We would without hesitation recommend. “

Mr & Mrs Lewis

“We were recommended Owen Devenport by a planning lawyer and instructed Jamie to apply for variation of an onerous condition attached to planning consent for a residential development and a subsequent successful planning appeal. He was approachable, professional, efficient, and always on hand to guide us through the process and answer any queries. He was strategic in his approach to our planning issues and knowledgeable about local planning regulations, procedures and expectations. He was also realistic in the advice that he gave. We would highly recommend.”

Jamie was the name mentioned, we appointed him straight away and he has handled everything for us from start to finish with a great result at the end! His knowledge and communication skills have been brilliant along with his cool and calmness which we all should have in these situation.”

Patrick Roche

“Owen Devenport assisted us in obtaining planning permission for five flats above the high street in Llangefni.

Jamie was attentive to detail and covered all aspects of the planning process including arranging architect services, advising on affordability including lining up the numerous experts required to assess the project and finally pushing through a compromise for waste collection provisions.

We unreservedly commend their service.”

Eli Bamberger

“Owen Devenport did an excellent job in securing approval of the reserved matters and discharge of conditions and many thanks to Lowri for the professional and prompt manner in which she dealt with the case and for detailing the next steps in the process.”

Mr Robert Roberts

“We asked Owen Devenport for assistance after receiving misleading guidance from the Planning Department resulting in a prolonged delay in a renewal application. Jamie took on the case and was able to reach a successful conclusion with permission renewed.”

“We sought the service of Owen Devenport to submit an outline application for an allocated site within the local development plan. Jamie navigated us through all the complex requirements and ensured the local authority had all the information needed to decide on the application. Permission was granted. Diolch yn fawr.”

Mr M Davies

“Owen Devenport have been a delight to deal with from start to finish. Extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and with sage advice given throughout. ”

Mr Dave Kenyon

“I would like to thank Jamie Bradshaw and Lowri Williams and all the team at Owen Devenport Ltd for the highly professional and informed advice in respect of the removal of an onerous condition within an existing planning consent. Jamie’s breadth of experience and knowledge of the process together with their extensive records of other similar cases as precedents were very important in the ultimate successful outcome.

Thank you once again to all the team at Owen Devenport.”

Mrs Ann S. Wood

“We live on the Llyn Peninsula, within an AONB, and as such, any planning applications quite rightly must be carefully prepared and submitted for approval by Cyngor Gwynedd.

Our solicitor recommended that we contact Owen Devenport with our application, we cannot recommend the service provided highly enough.

We were kept fully informed all the way through the process and were very happy with the final submission. Cyngor Gwynedd made sure that inputs were sought from the local Community Council and local neighbours and ensured that the application complied with the latest planning regulations.

In truth a great team effort and well-done Owen Devenport for demonstrating their ability to work with Cyngor Gwynedd in order to ensure a satisfactory outcome.

All of this took place during the pandemic, a very difficult time for all involved, and thanks to all for being there.”

Mr & Mrs Thomas

“I am writing to thank you for the excellent job that you did for me in securing our Planning Consent for the extensions to the cottage at Llangaffo. I must admit that I was a very apprehensive given the two outright rejections of the pre-app submissions by Anglesey but when the full application was submitted, together with the excellent Planning Support Statement prepared by Berwyn, I did think that our position was so strong and clear that to reject the application would have resulted in a well justified appeal. Needless to say, the outright approval has been very well received by us!

Thanks again to you and Berwyn and your excellent team.”

Mr N. Haughton

“We would like to thank you for your consistent effort, support and advice in relation to our successful planning permission. Your team at Owen Devenport are a testament to your continued success and impeccable reputation. It has been a long and tedious journey liaising with planning officials. However your professionalism has stood strong against the tide. We would highly recommend your services in the future.

Greatly appreciated”

Bobby & Sunita Katoch

“I am writing to say how impressed I was with the planning work you carried out for us at Knightsbridge House 11 Gloddaeth Street Llandudno following the planning approval. This was not an easy job especially with the building being grade 2 listed and in a conservation area. The way you have dealt with all the issues and concerns that the local authority had I must say you have handled the job exceptionally well in agreeing what our wants needs and aspirations were.

I will be using you and your firm again without question and I will be using your services on our next project in Denbigh which as you know is another grade 2 listed building.

Many thanks again for your help and support.”

Mr Rob Lloyd - Bearmont Capital Ltd

“Jamie Bradshaw of Owen Devenport Ltd was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. He dealt with our case in the most efficient way, every email and phone call answered promptly and everything we needed to do was explained clearly and the case was put together professionally by Jamie and the team at Owen Devenport and then submitted to CCBC. The decision was successful and I would not hesitate in recommending the company to anyone needing to submit a planning application.”

Ms Llinos Owen

“I would just like to give this well earned testimonial to Owen Devenport's expertise please.

I now have two successful planning applications two years apart for two enterprises, and cannot thank you and Berwyn enough.

The two marathons you have endured to get two successful planning applications through the council's planning department!

I would recommend your services to anyone undertaking planning matters, and wouldn't use anyone else for this service.

Thank you once again for bringing everything to fruition, when at times it certainly appeared to be such a tortured process!”

Mr David Sweetmore

“We were very pleased with the outcome of a recent planning consent which Jamie secured on our behalf. Jamie doggedly stuck to the task, focusing on relevant policy and exerting pressure on the local authority when required in order to push the consent through.”

Mr R. Rees

“Jamie Bradshaw at Owen Devenport Ltd was personally recommended to me by another company within the industry as we had a rather ‘off the wall project’ within an environmentally sensitive geographical area. The area is designated Heritage Coast, SSSI, AONB and SAC. The project involved gaining planning consent for a set of cliff edge steps (apx 50m) down to a beach area and as such working with NRW, Anglesey Planning Officers, Landscape Officers and Environmental Officers. The project also included intra project involvement with a local engineering firm who designed the steps initially by using drone technology. Consent was gained within 12 months under Jamie’s professional stewardship. I can wholeheartedly recommended the professional services of Owen Devenport Ltd.”

Mr Mark Llewellyn

“We would like to thank all at Owen Devenport for their hard work and professionalism while negotiating on our behalf to remove a section 106 agricultural clause which was placed on our property during planning process.

Our property was for sale for approximately 4 years, but the restrictions imposed by the local planning authority meant that buyers were unable or not allowed to buy the property. A major issue was that prospective purchasers were unable to secure a mortgage. Even though we had saved and borrowed to build the property, we did not feel that we owned the property as the final say was always with local planning authority.

Owen Devenport, with their hard work, dedication and thoroughness have been successful in removing the restrictions. We felt that everyone at the office was approachable and we were kept informed at every step. We now feel that we can finally look forward and make our own plans for the future.”

Dylan & Sera Williams

“Owen Devenport Ltd helped me with a retrospective planning permission application. They gave me sound advice with attention to detail. Always replied promptly to emails and phone messages. Jamie Bradshaw particularly worked really hard on my application and him and his team brought it to a successful conclusion. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking planning permission.”

Ms B. Phillips

“Many thanks to Jamie for his professionalism, help, and support in achieving planning through an arduous application to develop my property.

Owen Devenport were engaged after an initial planning refusal. With his positive, thorough and realistic approach along with his knowledge in the diverse aspects of the application process, any issues raised by the local planners were successfully dealt with which resulted in the planning being approved.

All professional contacts provided gave me full confidence and were much appreciated, I would happily recommend Owen Devenport to anyone, and would not hesitate using them in the future should I conduct any further development work that requires planning.”

Mr Benjamin Davies

“Myself and my business partner were put in contact with Jamie to undertake a change of use application. Jamie’s communication was excellent, he was very prompt to respond to any questions and kept us informed with the progress of our application throughout. I would recommend Jamie to anyone seeking assistance with any planning application. A successful application, we couldn’t have done it without him.”

Alex & Alexandra

“We would like to thank Owen Devenport (and Jamie Bradshaw especially) for their professional advice and hard work in helping us achieve our planning permission for Glamping Cabins in Pandy Tudur. It was a very difficult process as the planning officers were opposed to it, but Jamie helped us every step of the way and to have unanimous approval from the county councillors on the planning committee was testament to the meticulous planning support statement and all the supporting documents and counter arguments as made by Jamie. Owen Devenport also put us in touch with very skilled individuals such as architect, ecology surveyors, highways and all professionals from start to finish and we are pleased with all the work done by everyone. We would highly recommend Owen Devenport and would seek their advice should we need it in the future.”

Mr & Mrs Thomas

“We recently worked with Owen Devenport to convert our existing touring pitches (18) in favour of 10 static bases at Woodlands Caravan Park, Harlech. The service received was excellent throughout and we were delighted the final outcome as Owen Devenport were successful in gaining planning consent. This is all the more impressive as the proposed changes were against policy combined with the fact that Woodlands sits at the base of Harlech Castle, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and within the boundaries of the Snowdonia National Park.”
