Planning Services
Are you planning a building project and need advice or assistance with your proposals?
We can help by providing an initial site appraisal on the principle of development at the outset or more specific advice on matters arising further along the application process.
Are you proposing to make a planning or other application for development?
We can assist with the preparation, submission and negotiation of planning and other applications for your proposals, and can normally provide the necessary land surveys, scaled plans and other drawings that are needed.
We have links to a network of other professionals who can provide heritage reports, condition, structural, or ecology surveys, and flood risk assessments and any other information required by the National or Local list of accompanying documents if required.
Have you been refused planning permission and need to re-apply?
We can help to overcome difficulties encountered during the process, negotiate with Council officers or consultees and prepare and submit a revised application for you.
Do you want to make an appeal against a refusal of permission?
We can advise you on the likelihood of success if you wish to appeal and prepare and submit an appeal for you.
Have you been living on your site or using your land for many years for a purpose and want to apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness?
We have considerable experience and success in dealing with such matters, can provide advice about evidence you will need and assist with the preparation and submission of your application or provide advice about permitted development.
Are you facing enforcement action?
We can assist you with good initial advice on the likelihood of success for an application to retain unauthorised development, make any necessary application for you or deal with any appeal against the issue of an enforcement notice to resolve the matter for you.
If you are involved in any of the above or have any other planning problem, then please contact the practice as we can help.
