Planning Appeals

Has your planning application been refused? If so, we can provide advice and guidance on the prospect of appealing against the decision or revising your proposals to ensure a greater chance of success and can handle the whole process on your behalf. We will advise on the most appropriate form of appeal and present your case to the Planning Inspector in a clear and concise manner.

Ransome & Company has significant public sector experience, which provides a great advantage in understanding what the Planning Inspectorate look for when they determine planning appeals. We also have access to a wealth of case law and appeal precedents to help construct a robust appeal submission.

The cost of undertaking appeals depends on the complexity of the case, the number of reasons for refusal and the choice of procedure. We will keep you regularly updated throughout the appeal process and will also give you a clear time scale for an appeal decision.

Since April 2009 it has been possible to apply to the Planning Inspectorate for some or all of your incurred costs at appeal where the Local Authority has acted unreasonably. We can help construct a case to get your costs back if appropriate.

We also provide a professional service for those wishing to object or make representations to a planning appeal. We can aid potential objectors by making sensible, objective and effective representations.
