West Sussex

Planning consultant in West Sussex

DH Planning prepares planning applications and appeals in West Sussex. The district or borough decides the application. West Sussex County Council keeps minerals, waste and county matters. Midhurst and Petworth fall inside the South Downs National Park, which is a different local planning authority. The fee is fixed in writing before any work starts. We are not the council, and we do not guarantee the outcome.
