From Farm to Surveyor: A Unique Perspective

Passion for Rural Resilience
Tim’s dedication to rural development is unwavering. With Britain’s changing landscape post-Brexit, our rural and agricultural sectors face the challenge of finding new paths to maintain their viability. National and local planning policies may support rural development, but the planning system itself often hinders economic growth in rural areas.

Wreyland Rural Planning operates exclusively in rural environments. We stand side by side with our clients, offering a laser-focused, pragmatic approach to uncovering untapped value in the rural sector.

Tim’s skills cover High Risk Missing Persons, flood response, and boat rescues, assisting those in need along the Severn and across the region.
