Testimonials
Sincere Thanks
With my sincere thanks to you Andrew for everything you done! No doubt I'll be in touch again when this goes to committee. Best wishes, Leigh
Great Attention to Detail
Andrew worked tirelessly on documenting our objection statement and writing our respective three minute presentations for the Development Control Committee. Our sincere thanks go to Andrew Cann for his diligence, guidance, attention to detail and highly professional approach in helping Bardwell and Stanton Parish Councils with this planning application.
Major Contribution to our Campaign
I want to place on record my thanks to you for all you have done to advise and assist Pakefield Opposing Tesco in our campaign to stop Tesco taking over the Tramway Hotel in Pakefield, Lowestoft.
The reports you produced were professional, well researched and very knowledgeable about the processes and operations of local authority planning departments and development control committees.
Your work made a major contribution to our campaign which has so far successfully prevented a much loved local building and community facility becoming just another retail store that the local community doesn't want or need.
Thank you for your work. Best wishes. Bob Blizzard
We Would Recommend Planning Direct
I worked with Andrew when the Crossrail Bill, which at the time would have had a severe effect on rail freight, was being considered by the House of Lords. He is a canny operator (pun intended) and was quick to grasp the case and how best to present it to peers who were intelligent but ignorant of the facts. I would recommend him for a project management or strategic role in the ports or freight sector or in an equivalent industry.
Professional Attitude and Detailed Focus
Andrew worked with me on several strategic projects. He demonstrated a professional attitude. In particular, his detailed focus on technical areas (rail, marine and planning) and apptitude to learn quickly, combined with his ability to engage and work with people across a wide spectrum, provided a good resource to the project team.
Great to Work With
Andrew recently demonstrated that in complex, disputed, multi-stakeholder situations he can marshal a team, co-ordinate argument, and drive a winning conclusion. A great person to work with.
Particularly Thankful
Speaking in the Hadleigh Community News about the final defeat, after 14 years of Tesco's supermarket application. "I am particularly thankful to Andrew Cann who organised the speakers, wrote much of the final documentation, arranged all of the meetings and kept Hands Off Hadleigh, totally involved so that it was still our campaign. I am well aware that it is dangerous to pick out one individual to thank but Andrew led us to this outcome."
Diverse Experience and Lateral Thinking
I've worked with Andrew of Planning Direct on a number of projects. Always energetic and creative, he responds well under pressure and his diverse experience and lateral thinking generate strategic solutions that meet outcome and economics every time. He is aware, and uses, routes to outcomes others simply wouldn't conceive of. A pleasure to work with, always has a sense of humour even on difficult cases, and the place to go for planning or advice across several business and political areas.
