New Planning Applications
The largest part of our planning portfolio concerns the interests of those who
are dealing with the planning system for the first time or third parties requiring
expert planning advice regarding developments affecting their individual
interests or the local community as a whole. Whether you are seeking to uplift
the value of land or buildings, contemplating a purchase or merely protecting
your own interests we can provide that early expert guidance where so much
can be at stake. Whatever you have in mind, we can help you to save time
and money in procuring a satisfactory planning consent by resolving issues
before they become a problem.
The Planning Partnership can identify objectives and assess development
potential. but there are significant exceptions to the rule that may make it
unnecessary to obtain planning permission for a particular proposal. Clear
advice is required in negotiating a path through these complex provisions.
Most forms of development require planning permission, such as home
improvements, conservatories, conversions and re-development. We deal with
all appeals including written representation appeals, informal hearings and
public inquiries.
Common Reasons
for Rejection
Planning applications are
often rejected for many
different reasons. Failure
to complete the form
correctly, supply
sufficiently detailed
drawings, provide land
contamination reports,
flood risk assessments
and / or design and access
statements are the most
common reasons for delay
in planning applications
and can be a reason for
refusal. Providing enough
information so that the
intentions can be fully
understood and
knowledge of local council
policies so that they can
be addressed before they
become an issue are key
to a successful application.
