Robust Planning Appeals
We can turn a "no" into “yes”. Whether it's preparing a robust appeal, redesigning plans to meet Council requirements, or negotiating with Planning Officers, we know how to maximise your chances of approval.
Robust Planning Appeals
As an experienced Council Planner, we know first-hand that not every planning decision is justified; people can interpret the same policies and legislation in different ways and Council Planners sometimes fail to consider local circumstances. If you have been refused planning permission, you can seek to overturn the decision by appealing to the Planning Inspectorate which is an independent government agency. If we believe your planning appeal stands a good chance, we can prepare and submit a robust appeal to the Planning Inspectorate on your behalf. Our approach is grounded in policy, evidence, and a clear understanding of appeal procedures, hopefully turning "no" into “yes”.
📣 Planning Appeals – From £489
Had your planning application refused? Don’t give up - many decisions can be successfully challenged with the right strategy and evidence.
Our Planning Appeal Service starts at £489 and includes:
📄 Review of the refusal notice and planning officer’s report
🏛️ Preparation of a robust appeal statement grounded in planning policy and precedent
📨 Submission of your appeal to the Planning Inspectorate
💬 Ongoing support and advice throughout the appeal process
We handle appeals for:
- Householder applications (e.g. extensions, outbuildings, alterations)
- Full planning applications for new dwellings or changes of use
- Enforcement notices and retrospective applications
Our appeal statements are clear, compelling, and evidence-based—giving you the best possible chance of overturning a refusal.
Time-sensitive: Most appeals must be submitted within 12 weeks of the decision. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your right to appeal.
If you’ve received an enforcement notice, it’s illegal to ignore it—but you can appeal. We’ll help you understand your rights and respond effectively.
⚖️ Is an Appeal the Right Option?
Sometimes, an appeal isn’t the most effective route to unlocking your development potential. In many cases, we can achieve a positive outcome by:
✏️ Redesigning your proposal to address the Council’s concerns
🤝 Negotiating directly with planning officers to find a mutually acceptable solution
📋 Submitting a revised application that aligns more closely with local policy
We’ll always give you honest, strategic advice. If we believe an appeal isn’t in your best interest, we’ll tell you—and help you explore better alternatives.
