Apogee Property & Utility Consultants in short
Apogee Property & Utility Consultants is a Telford consultancy pairing planning applications, appeals and consultancy with utility searches and land services. One firm carrying a development site through both halves of the job is its calling card. The office sits at Blount House on Hall Park Way, with phone and enquiry form published for a first contact.
Its site states professional indemnity cover and a fixed-fee approach with instant online quoting for search reports. The limited company behind the name has traded from its Telford base for several years. For a developer assembling land and permission together, that combined desk is the attraction — our verdict on the strength of the offer as published.
Customer reviews run to top marks from a small bench: five out of five across seven Google reviews. That headline rating reads as a promising start rather than a settled record — seven voices cannot stand in for seventy. No wider review footprint is on record for this firm.
What counts against it is the paper trail. Industry qualifications can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked, and no rates appear beyond the fixed-fee approach. Our judgement is that Apogee Property & Utility Consultants suits development sites needing planning and utilities handled together — a useful combined offer with thinner credentials than the leader.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Apogee suits you if your project mixes planning permission with utility and land questions, since it offers both under one roof from its Telford base [1] [2]. Its public reviews are top marks but few, and no professional registration appears on the registers, the website or the platforms checked [4].

Questions about Apogee Property & Utility Consultants
Is Apogee Property & Utility Consultants any good?
On the evidence, yes for development sites: it pairs planning work with utility and land services under one roof, states indemnity cover and a fixed-fee approach, and holds five out of five across seven Google reviews. Qualifications can't be sourced and the review base is small, so read the full page. Send your site plan through the enquiry form for a first view.
Is Apogee on a professional register?
No entry can be sourced for Apogee on the registers, its website or the platforms checked — that is the stated position on its card. Planning consultancy has no mandatory registration, so read it as missing evidence, not as a verdict on its work. Ask what qualifications the person handling your case holds, and check any letters claimed in the relevant directory.
What does Apogee charge?
It states a fixed-fee approach with instant online quoting for its search reports, but publishes no rates, fee scale or VAT position. Your written quote does the talking: send the site, the proposal and any council correspondence, and ask for a fixed figure with stages. Confirm what sits outside the fee — council charges, surveys and reports — before you agree anything.
Where does Apogee work?
The consultancy works from Blount House on Hall Park Way in Telford and lists Telford as its service area. Development sites across the borough are its natural ground, with planning and utilities handled from the one desk. Send your site postcode with the first enquiry to confirm cover, and ask who would attend any visit.
What do its reviews say?
Public reviews are top marks on a small base: five out of five across seven Google reviews, with no other review source on record. Few voices means every one matters, so read them all on the Google listing linked from this page. Weigh the praise against the thinner credentials set out below.
How does it compare with Mid West Planning?
Apogee is the combined-desk choice for sites mixing permission with utilities and land; Mid West is the rural specialist with RICS regulated standing and a longer record. Both hold top-mark reviews on small bases, and neither publishes rates. On the evidence, Apogee fits development plots, while Mid West fits farmland, countryside briefs and enforcement tangles.
How do I get a quote?
Use the phone or enquiry form on its site, starting with the instant online quoting for search reports where that fits. Send the site address, what you want to build, photos and any council letters or refusals. Ask for a fixed written figure naming the route, the documents included, the stages and what a refusal would cost next.
How is Apogee ranked?
It ranks second of the two firms in our September planning consultants table, picked for development sites needing planning and utilities handled together. What customers say counts most in the score, then professional standing, then trading history and cover. Read the full review and the scorecard, then test it with an enquiry about your site.
