"As a planning consultant I rely upon the services of other specialists to contribute to cases. Steve Woods has been invaluable in providing excellent highways advice that is clear and timely. Furthermore we have been able to collaborate as a team in working out different scenarios where Steve has come up with some excellent suggestions that have not only improved the highway outcomes but have also assisted the development as a whole."

Clare Wright - C. B. Wright & Associates Ltd

"We instructed Steve Woods Consultants to supply a highway statement to support the re-development of a filling station and commercial premises at Totnes Cross on an awkward junction with known congestion problems. Following a traffic count, junction assessment and design input into the new access, planning permission was granted. Steve provides a friendly and efficient professional service and I would highly recommend his company."

Ken Harrison

"Steve Woods is the consummate professional. He was employed by us as a traffic consultant to help us gain planning approval for our business (which had previously been refused based upon parking and traffic issues). Steve spent six weeks surveying, photographing, reporting and researching the local area and its traffic issues plus he designed various intelligent car park layouts and developed a travel plan.  His knowledge of legislation and the law in this area is unparalleled and he more than met all the criteria imposed by the planning department to leave them with no counter argument. His meticulous attention to detail and professionalism was most impressive. We also found Steve to be extremely amenable and he had that rare ability to translate the intricate details of a complex system into a language that could be easily understood by us.  We fully trusted and accepted his well-balanced advice which always lay somewhere between common sense and the sometimes-nonsensical regulatory constraints. If it wasn’t for Steve I don’t believe we would have won our case.  I therefore have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Steve as your consultant in any matter regarding traffic, parking or any other related issue.
Thank you for all your help Steve. We will always be eternally grateful that we were introduced to you. What a bonus that was."
 
Debbie Tams - The Beauty Quarters, Newcastle under Lyme

"Steve has provided us with expert advice on numerous occasions to overcome questions raised by Planning Officers and the Highways Authority. He has proven to always provide a swift and efficient service, no matter the complexity of the proposal. Would wholeheartedly recommend his services."

Michael Congreve - Bi Design Architecture

"Steve worked with us in order to gain planning permission for a site at the back of our property.  He advised us on where we should consider to put the building, the access into the potential building, and all other aspects which needed to be taken into consideration.  He produced some drawings to enable us to progress to a pre-planning application.  These drawings were of excellent standard and explained to the council what we were looking to do.  He then filled the pre-planning application in for us and really helped us understand the process.  I can honestly say without his advice we would not have been able to do this. He also attended meetings at our property with the planning officer and the conservation officer.  He was extremely professional with them and asked all the right questions.  Steve was a pleasure to work with and always offered good, honest advice and kept promises of chase-ups and call-backs. We would highly recommend Steve and would definitely use him again should the need arise."

Richard and Lynn Burman

I run a planning consultancy and often need transport related advice and surveys. I have contacted Steve Woods on several occasions and he is always there to pick up the phone to, willing to give advice and thorough strategies and fee proposals. Would recommend.
