Planning Appeal Consultants in Cheshire, North West, North Wales and the Midlands
Planning Appeals can be made for a variety of reasons which include; non-determination of an application, objecting to conditions imposed on a permission or being refused planning permission.
The most common appeals we at ABL Planning & Development generally deal with, relate to refused applications and enforcement appeals A refused application can be disappointing and frustrating however, it is not necessarily the end of the road for your development proposal. Similarly, the receipt of an Enforcement Notice can be daunting but there is the opportunity to appeal the Notice have it quashed.
In most cases, if you are looking to make an appeal, whether that be appealing an application or an enforcement notice, there is an opportunity to appeal to an independent body; the Planning Inspectorate or PEDW, if in Wales.
The Timing of a Planning and Enforcement Appeals
Appeals are time critical, more so Enforcement appeals, and as such, it is vitally important that should you be thinking about appealing the Council’s decision or an Enforcement Notice, contact is made as soon as possible. You will generally find that our first question is when did the Council issue their decision or enforcement notice as once the period for making an appeal has lapsed, any opportunity for appeal has gone. The implications in respect of missing an appeal deadline in respect of an Enforcement Notice can in some case have disastrous consequences.
If you are appealing an application, it is worth having a copy of your validation letter, officer report / committee report and decision notice to hand. If appealing an Enforcement Notice, we will need to see a copy of the Notice and any accompanying site plan that has been served.
