You handle the appeal yourself, using our straight forward Guide to the Appeal Process, thereby saving significant costs in administration and other expenses. This enables us to spend your money where it counts, on drafting your appeal statement, not on form filling and photocopying. Our services are available to clients throughout England seeking a high quality, but cost effective, planning appeal service. When you consider the potential benefits of securing planning permission for your preferred scheme, we think you will agree that our services represent excellent value for money.
The Importance of your Planning Appeal Statement
Your planning appeal statement sets out your grounds of appeal and is the most important part of your case. In order to ensure that you have the best possible chance of winning your planning appeal, it is essential that you present your arguments cogently and with reference to the correct development plan policies and other relevant material considerations, such as the government’s national planning policy statements. We are very experienced at handling planning appeals and know how to present your case most effectively. Because our planning appeal statements are prepared by a fully qualified and highly experienced chartered town planner, we can significantly improve your chances of gaining planning permission. For example, we know how to cite policy and precedent and how to use your permitted development rights to establish a fallback position as powerful arguments for approval.
Free Appraisal of your Case
As part of our service, we provide a free appraisal of your case entirely without obligation. We view your planning application and supporting plans and documentation online by accessing your local authority's website. We review the reasons for refusal and the relevant local and national planning policies. Where relevant, we may request photographs, which can normally be sent by email. We then provide you with a written appraisal of your case, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your proposal and assessing your prospects of gaining planning permission on appeal. Each appraisal includes a simple traffic light rating to help you assess your chances of winning an appeal. We provide unlimited free telephone or email advice and will never raise false expectations just to secure your business. Our independent professional assessment will ensure that you are able to make a properly informed decision about whether to appeal.
Fixed Prices at Competitive Rates
Many people feel aggrieved by their local authority's decision to refuse planning permission, but are deterred from making an appeal by the complexity of the planning system and the high cost of employing a planning consultant. Planning Appeal Statements provides the perfect solution. You handle the appeal yourself using our simple Guide to the Appeal Process and the professionally drafted planning appeal statement provided by us. Because you handle the administration of the appeal, this means we can spend your money where it counts, on drafting your planning appeal statement, not on form filling or photocopying. This enables us to provide our services at very competitive rates and is the most cost effective way for you to secure professional representation for your appeal.
