Is an appeal right for you?
We start by reviewing the decision notice, the officer's report and the policies cited. We'll tell you honestly whether an appeal has a good chance, or whether a revised application would be quicker and cheaper.
How appeals work
Most appeals for homes and extensions are decided on written evidence:
- Householder appeals follow a faster process, mostly based on the original application.
- Full planning and listed building appeals usually involve a written statement from each side, comments from third parties, and a site visit by the inspector.
- Some larger or more complex appeals are decided at a hearing or inquiry.
What we prepare
- The appeal form and grounds of appeal
- A statement of case addressing each reason for refusal
- Supporting evidence, including drawings, photographs and comparable decisions
- Responses to the council's statement and any third-party comments
Who'll handle your project: Benjamin Plunkett, our Managing Director and Planning & Heritage Consultant, is your point of contact from the first site visit to the decision. Charlie Plunkett MCIAT produces the drawings.
