Summary
Every year, thousands of homeowners apply for planning permission and come away battered and bruised.
As a council case officer, Martin Gaine was part of the problem, continuously rejecting applications from poorly prepared applicants. Seeing that they were getting a raw deal, he founded Just Planning, a consultancy dedicated to helping homeowners to beat the planners.
How to Get Planning Permission is a lively and accessible guide for homeowners. Full of practical detail and real-life case studies, its six-step program explains how to:
- Choose the right designer
- Exploit permitted development rights (where permission is not required at all)
- Understand how planning decisions are really made
- Apply tactically and effectively
- Deal with a refusal
- Avoid the agony of enforcement
Martin explains how to decide, in the first instance, what kind of extension you really need (size isn’t everything) and how to get the best professional advice. He describes the planning decision making process—how to understand, apply, and overcome planning policies, how to manage neighbor objections, and how to build rapport with your case officer.
A refusal of planning permission is not the end of the road—this audiobook shows that it can be a constructive part of the planning journey and some permissions will only ever be secured at appeal.
Planning is not a fair fight, but with the professional insight, advice, and strategies Martin lays out in How to Get Planning Permission, you can stack the odds in your favor.

Really helpful overview
Hard to beat experience and this book helps bring it all together in a neat overview. In the middle of a planning application where I now better understand the planning officer perspective, so extremely useful. I wish I’d listened before starting the planning process.

Interesting listen for a dry subject
After having spent hours looking over permitted development documentation, I found this book to be an easy listen and provided a good overview of the planning system. It has lots of good points to think about, and the author calls on lots of actual examples from his career. The main downside was the book became at times an advert for his planning consultancy, with every opportunity to plug the need to use his or a similar company to help when applying for planning permission.
