Planning Applications and Appeals

Securing consent and resolving planning challenges

Our planning consultants manage every stage of the planning application and appeal process – from initial strategy through to decision and beyond. We combine technical rigour with commercial understanding to give clients the best chance of success, whether the project involves a single dwelling or a large-scale mixed-use scheme.

With extensive experience across the UK, we understand how local policy, precedent, and politics shape planning outcomes. We prepare robust applications and appeals that anticipate key issues, address potential risks, and demonstrate clear compliance with planning policy and material considerations.

Planning applications

We coordinate, prepare, and manage all types of planning applications, from householder and minor development to complex major schemes. Our team works closely with architects, designers, and technical specialists to ensure proposals are well-presented, evidence-based, and policy-aligned.

Planning applications • Advertisement consent • Certificates of lawful development • Prior notification applications • Permitted development advice • S.73 and S.96A applications • Planning statements

Planning appeals

When an application is refused or conditions are disputed, our team provides clear, strategic advice on the best route forward. We prepare strong, policy-backed appeal cases and handle written representations, hearings, and inquiries efficiently and effectively.

Planning appeals • Enforcement appeals • Expert witness evidence • Instructions to counsel

Post-decision support

Our involvement doesn’t end at consent. We help discharge conditions, negotiate Section 106 agreements, and manage any follow-up requirements to keep development moving smoothly.

Condition review and discharge • S.106 heads of terms and renegotiation
