If you have had your Planning Application refused or have received an Enforcement Notice, then you have the right to appeal the Planning Application refusal or the Enforcement Notice to the Planning Inspectorate (PINs). PINs are a Government Department and work independently to your Local Planning Authority (LPA) and make independent decisions upon the merits of your appeal.
You have 6 months from the planning decision date of your planning refusal (12 weeks if the refusal is for a Householder Application) and 28 days from the date of the Enforcement Notice, please remember that if you miss the dates you have lost your right to appeal.
We have set out three methods of conducting an appeal on our page setting out our services and can help you choose the correct and most cost effective route depending on the complexities of your case.
We are content to appeal your refusal notwithstanding if we have been involved with your application, we get many referrals from Architects who have acted for the client at application stage but then need to refer to Planning Consultants when matters become more complex.
TPGL have undertaken hundreds of appeals over the years and have a successful achievement rate. We will however advise you professionally and truthfully on your chances of success – not all existing schemes are achievable and sometimes it may be cheaper and less stressful to go back to the drawing board.
We attach below a few appeal decisions examples below that provide clarity relating to how Planning Inspectors and the system works. Please do not hesitate to contact us for a free consultation.
