Sometimes applications are refused or not determined in the required statutory timeframe. We always consider options when presented with a refusal and in many instances we will seek to resolve the issues through a resubmission. Where this is not possible, we can appeal the decision.

When reviewing refused planning applications we consider the merits of the case. What are the reasons for refusal? Are they reasonable and defendable? Are they consistent with other decisions?

Where there is merit in appealing, we build a case to demonstrate why the planning authoirty should have granted planning permission. In some instances, where the behaviour is unreasonable, we seek an award of costs.

Planning appeals can be very complex and according to the planning inspectorate, only 1 in 3 appeals are successful. You can appeal yourself or you can instruct experts such as Landic to act on our behalf. However, you decide to proceed it is important to note that you do only get one chance to appeal so you need to get it right the first time.
