About Rebus

Rebus Planning Solutions is a consultancy-led Town Planning Practice based in Dover.  The team at Rebus has over 50 years’ combined experience in both the public and private sectors.

Working with a diverse range of clients, whether private individuals, architectural practices, developers or charities, Rebus Planning Solutions offer a wide range of planning services. 

We provide clear, honest and robust planning-related advice and a service which is tailored to you or your company’s needs.  Our clients are never encouraged to pursue developments that have no chance of success, but lateral thinking, and a strategic approach, will often result in the realisation of client aspirations.

Our fees are dependent upon the scope of work required.  We would be pleased to provide a no obligation estimate or fee proposal, following the receipt of relevant information, and welcome any initial enquiries via email office@rebusplanning.co.uk or call 01304 697077.

Recruitment

As a busy, independent Chartered Town Planning Practice, we are always looking to expand our team of planning professionals. If you are a Chartered Town Planner, or a Town Planner seeking accreditation, and if you believe you would be a good fit, please contact either Karen or Nicola on 01304 697077.


Testimonials

  • Clifford Construction Ltd


    “An increasingly frustrating planning system is made a little easier when you know you have a Planning Consultant on your side. Submitting planning applications is an onerous and arduous task but one that we, at Clifford Construction, do not have to worry about when working with Rebus Planning Solutions. Rebus will manage your submissions in a professional manner but with the right amount of tenacity needed with such a challenging system.”
    Clifford Construction Ltd Website

  • Anthony Swaine Architecture

    “With the planning system becoming increasingly more complicated and with an ever-shifting policy stance, or so it would appear, Karen at Rebus is the ‘go to person’ for planning advice and support and a valued member of our Design Team in all Anthony Swaine Architecture /Rebus collaborations.”
    Anthony Swaine Architecture

  • Quex House & Gardens – home of the powell-cotton museum


    Working with Nicola and the Rebus Planning Solutions team has been invaluable. Their insight and understanding of the planning world, combined with their connections and experience, has enabled us to navigate through our own masterplanning process effectively and efficiently.  Nicola is brilliant at explaining planning policies, needs and relevance to our plans, acting as a bridge between architects and planning officers.  She took time to really understand our needs as a client and the work we wanted to achieve in order to be able to articulate it clearly and concisely to stakeholders.  It has been a pleasure to work with her.

  • Abbey Design Architectural Services


    “Working with Rebus has been, on many occasions, invaluable to us and our clients. Navigating the planning system’s apparent maze of legislation and policy provisions requires detailed knowledge, expertise and experience – all attributes held by Rebus. Thank you!”

  • Blackrock Architecture Ltd


    “The planning process and system generally is only getting harder and despite our best efforts, in some cases we simply can’t keep up with the demands of the Local Planning Authorities nor do we have the strength to continually fight with the planners! Karen and her team are simply amazing, they enable us to do what we do best – DESIGN! Rebus then quickly and efficiently deal with planning matters behind the scenes which takes a huge amount of stress away from us and ultimately achieves our clients’ aspirations. We can’t recommend highly enough and always look forward to working with Rebus”

  • Weston Brothers (Holdings) Ltd


    ‘I have worked with Rebus Planning for numerous years and on various projects, I have had an excellent experience working with this company. From the beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. They took the time to understand my goals, provided clear guidance, and kept me informed at every stage.
    Their expertise and attention to detail provided complete confidence, they were always available to answer questions I had, and offer practical solutions. What could have been a complicated and stressful process was made straightforward and efficient thanks to their hard work and dedication.
    I cannot recommend them enough and I cannot imagine working with a different planning consultant’

    “Helping us navigate the planning system, and securing a Lawful Use Certificate for use of our premises as a dwelling, the service provided by Rebus Planning included: – Advice, from the outset, what we could expect from the application process; – An in-depth knowledge of the local authority and an awareness of issues which the Council would pick up on; – The ability to consolidate large amounts of information and put this into the required format for submission; – excellent value for money; – innovative solutions to problems in hand. And we would add that Karen is a joy to work with.”
