Planning Enforcement Issues
Facing Planning Enforcement Issues? Let us handle the complexities of enforcement matters and advise you of your options.
If you have just been threatened with enforcement action or if an Enforcement Notice has been served. It is best to engage and negotiate with the enforcing authority at an early stage and then explore the following options available to you. We can lead negotiations on your behalf.
- Submission of a retrospective planning application
- Submission of Certificates of Lawfulness
- Appealing against Enforcement Notices
Planning Appeals
If your Planning Application has been refused it does not necessarily spell the end for your prospective development. If you still wish to proceed with your project there are options to either submit a revised planning application and amend it to overcome the reasons for refusal. Or if you consider it has been determined unfairly you can appeal the Local Authorities decision to the Planning Inspectorate.
We can manage the appeal on your behalf. For advice and guidance please contact us to discuss.
Planning Objections
If you consider that you will be affected by a development proposed by others and need assistance in responding to the Local Authorities public consultation. We can make representations on your behalf to a Local Planning Authority and also make representations during the appeals process if required.
We would ensure that all material planning issues that affect you are taken into account by the decision maker and present a strong objection on your behalf. Please contact us to discuss
