It’s been a busy season for the Planix team! We are proud to announce that our founder, Simon Rix, has been featured across a massive range of national and regional publications.
From the digital pages of The Independent and MSN to the historic print editions of the Yorkshire Post and The Sentinel, Simon has been sharing his expert blueprint on how homeowners can "fast-track" their extensions by navigating red tape and shifting planning rules.
Why Everyone is Talking About "Fast-Tracking"
The message across the media has been clear: the planning landscape is changing. With new updates to building regulations and local council procedures, there are more opportunities than ever to speed up a home transformation—if you know the "shortcuts" that stay within the rules.
In these features, Simon explores how to use Permitted Development rights effectively and how to present applications that councils simply can't say "no" to.
"The goal is to move from 'idea' to 'spade in the ground' as efficiently as possible," Simon explains. "By understanding the nuances of the current system, we can save our clients months of waiting."
