"With the individual requirements of each Neighbourhood Plan, it was essential to draw on the experience that Planit-X have working within this area of planning, especially where more than one Parish Council is involved.
Without the extensive knowledge of the requirements in developing a Neighbourhood Plan and the continuing support of Colin Wilkinson at Planit-X we would not have been able to complete The Wolds Villages Neighbourhood Plan."

"Colin Wilkinson of Planit-X provided excellent input and guidance throughout the 4 years of our Neighbourhood Plan project and he became an integral part of our project team. His knowledge and continued advice was key to us completing and having 'made' our comprehensive Neighbourhood Plan successfully in March'19."

"I wish to commend the Parish Council and the Steering Group on their approach to preparing this neighbourhood plan. In particular, the decision making in respect of its housing allocation has been transparent and objective, based on clear selection criteria…
I wish to congratulate Brigstock Parish Council and the appointed Steering Group on producing a very readable and well-structured document that has been based on significant community involvement. It will form the sound basis for determining planning application in the parish over the coming years. It has not ducked its responsibility in making difficult allocation decisions and has had regard to strategic policies in the Core Strategy."

"The plan-making had to find ways to reconcile differences of view, in particular on meeting the housing needs identified with Harborough District Council in parallel to their own preparation of a new Local Plan. All such difficult tasks were approached with transparency and care..
The Basic Conditions Statement has … tabulated the relationship between the policy content of the Plan and its higher tier equivalents… The comprehensive approach to assessing the Plan content is impressive."

"We have recently completed our Brigstock Neighbourhood Plan and we had Planit-X’s guidance from the beginning of the process.
With their expert and clear help we had the Plan approved first time with minimal changes and kept nearly all of the residents on board as well. I would highly recommend them to other Parishes if you are thinking of doing your Plan."
