Appeals and Public Inquiries

Very few of our schemes are refused planning permission.  On the rare occasions that this has occurred, we have secured approval on appeal or/and via a resubmission with associated successful cost claims against the determining planning authority.

In some instances, it is necessary to use the right of appeal to the planning inspectorate. Drawing on our specialist planning knowledge and links with planning lawyers and advice from counsel, we advise on the strength of a planning case before any appeal is lodged on a client’s behalf.  When planning appeals are lodged, we construct robust and persuasive submissions and provide expert planning witness support in support of the case for called in applications, planning refusals, non-determinations or imposition of unreasonable conditions.
