What Wren does here

11.3% of applications here are refused.

Wren drafts against New Forest National Park Local Plan (2016–2036), a chartered planner reads the draft and signs it under their own indemnity, and a case manager files it and chases it. A householder application is £499, and New Forest National Park's own statutory fee is separate and paid by you directly to them.
