About

Planning help from an architect who’s done it nearly 400 times.

Planning London is the planning service of Islington Architects, a practice founded in 2004. We focus on one thing: getting good projects through planning, clearly and at a fixed fee.

Ade Fowler, RIBA Chartered Architect

Ade has personally submitted approaching 400 planning and listed building applications since 2005, across London, Hampshire and the south coast. He trained at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, and worked at Future Systems, Conran & Partners and Will Alsop’s studio before founding his own practice.

He is ARB registered, a RIBA Chartered Architect, and on the RIBA Principal Designer Register (Domestic).
