Planning Appeals

If a council refuses your planning application or fails to determine it within a certain period, there is a right of appeal. A significant part of our work is collating and lodging planning appeals. We undertake all types of appeals, including enforcement and certificates of lawfulness. We also cover all sectors of the market including householder, residential, commercial and tourism.

Householder Planning Appeals

We don’t just do the big stuff, we also advise on small, domestic alterations and permitted development rights. Our low-cost householder appeals service is specifically geared towards helping out householders. These clients normally do not have any experience with how the planning system works so we are here to guide you through the process and advise on the best course of action.

Realistic & Honest Advice

We will always advise on the best way forward by providing honest and realistic advice. Appeals can be an appropriate route to follow as it removes any political influence that might affect your application. Planning Inspectors, who determine your appeal, are fair, independent and determine your appeal on planning merits alone. An Appeal is not always the best course of action, we may suggest lodging a revised planning application back to the local planning authority. Whatever route we recommend, it will be based on a detailed assessment of your situation.
