James Spreckley Ltd

Unlocking Property Potential Across the Three Counties

Since 1991, we have been the trusted partner for landowners, private clients, and investors looking to navigate the complexities of the UK planning system. Based in Hereford, we operate primarily across Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Gloucestershire, though our reputation for delivering results often takes us into the adjoining counties.

We believe that every piece of land and every building has a story to tell and, more importantly, potential to be realised. Our mission is simple: to maximise the value of your assets through expert planning permissions and strategic development advice.

Why Homeowners and Landowners Choose Us

We aren't just consultants; we are your advocates in the planning process. We act almost exclusively for private clients, which means our loyalty is never divided. Whether you are looking to convert a redundant agricultural building or promote a large-scale strategic site, we bring over three decades of local knowledge and technical expertise to the table.

"We work to deliver your aims on time and on budget, acting as either your lead consultant or a seamless addition to your existing advisory team."

From Traditional Barns to Strategic Land Promotion

Our portfolio is as diverse as the landscape we serve. We have a particular affinity for projects that require a nuanced touch, such as:

• Barn Conversions: We specialise in both traditional stone barn restorations and modern Class Q conversions, helping you turn agricultural heritage into high-value residential assets.
• Bespoke Residential Projects: From individual luxury homes to larger residential developments, we handle the planning hurdles so you can focus on the build.
• Diversification & Leisure: We have extensive experience in the growing leisure sector, including the successful delivery of glamping sites.
• Listed Buildings: Navigating the sensitivities of heritage assets requires a specific set of skills, which we have honed over 30 years in the Three Counties.
• Commercial & Strategic Land: We promote land for development, ensuring that our clients' property is positioned to achieve its maximum market potential.

A Collaborative Approach to Success

Planning is rarely a solo endeavour. To ensure your project has the best chance of success, we maintain a robust network of retained professionals. When you hire us, you gain access to a hand-picked team of architects, structural engineers, ecologists, landscape architects, and highways consultants.

We lead these multi-disciplinary teams with a steady hand, ensuring that every technical report and design drawing aligns with the overarching goal: winnin
