Help you to write the story of your home


We're on your side from day one
At Plotline Planning, we believe that navigating the planning permission process shouldn't feel like a mystery. Whether you're a homeowner hoping to extend your house, a developer promoting a new site, or a business looking to adapt your premises, you deserve clear planning advice, realistic expectations, and a planning consultant who genuinely cares about getting the right outcome for you.
As an independent planning consultancy based in Exeter, we know the South West planning landscape well — from the rural policies of National Parks and Conservation Areas, to the pressures of coastal communities, and the growth ambitions of the region's towns and cities. That local planning knowledge matters, whether you're applying for planning permission for a house extension, a new development, or a change of use. And while our roots are firmly in the South West, we work with clients across the UK, bringing the same level of care, clear advice, and attention to detail to planning applications nationwide.
Our approach is simple: we listen first. We take the time to understand your project, your planning priorities, and your budget — and then we give you honest, practical planning advice about the best route forward, whether that includes a planning application, pre-application advice, or a planning appeal where needed. No jargon. No surprises. Just practical advice you can trust.
