What Our Clients Say


AHC was recommended to me as a company with an excellent success rate at winning the viability argument on various projects for private residential developers. AHC was successful on my own planning application in Sussex demonstrating that the proposal for residential
development was not viable with the affordable housing contribution sought nor
any additional contribution to infrastructure outside that of the statutory CIL payment. AHC has a good understanding of planning policy and does thorough background research in support of their appraisals. AHC has a flexible approach, sound strategies and meets deadlines. AHC are excellent communicators and are a pleasure to work with.
