Our Mission

At Sussplanning, my mission is to provide clear, reliable, and affordable planning advice to homeowners, architects, and developers across Harrogate, Knaresborough, and North Yorkshire.

With over 18 years’ experience in local council planning, I simplify the complexities of Permitted Development (PD), helping clients determine what they can build without formal planning permission.

I am committed to saving you time, stress, and unnecessary costs by offering expert guidance on General Permitted Development Order (GPDO) rules. My goal is to ensure you can move forward with confidence, backed by the right planning knowledge and documentation.

At Sussplanning, I help you “suss” out planning rules—so you can focus on bringing your project to life.

Testimonials

Karen is always my first port of call for any land and property queries. As a property developer, I need clear and reliable detail on potential sites which Karen provides in abundance. She is always extremely quick to respond and provides an in-depth breakdown of all the information I could possibly need, and more! I wouldn't entertain a site or property without prior consultation from Karen. A huge thank you for all of your help and continued support!

Karen is a useful source when it comes to the Permitted Development rules. I always contact Karen when I’m unsure of the rules as they are not always that simple on more complicated buildings and projects. I think it makes me look a lot more professional when I can give definite answers to clients and make the right application which ultimately saves the client money.

We were recommended Karen at Suss Planning for some help with our project in Knaresborough that we had some issues on with planning that we had trouble resolving. Karen came down after a brief phone conversation and told us comprehensively what we could and couldn’t do with a super knowledge of what we needed to do. This was backed up with an email documenting this and our planning went very smoothly from there on in. Can’t recommend Karen highly enough and to top it all off really friendly and cheerful to boot!
