Drive your project forward despite a planning rejection (or through the call-in procedure) with our team of experts who can partner with you whether we have worked on the initial planning submission or are joining the team at appeal stage
We will guide you in understanding feedback and how best to implement to progress your scheme via the written representation procedure and the hearing/inquiry procedure.
We can mobilise changes quickly including further community engagement, and professionally manage consultants through the relevant steps to determination/decision.
We have direct professional access to instruct a barrister on your behalf to assess potential appeal chances. This is especially important in a situation that goes through to planning inquiry whereby we provide expert witness and evidence, including in an enforcement situation.
Our experts have a strong track record in achieving consents whilst retaining the authenticity, viability and design principles of the original scheme’s vision or masterplan.
