Frequently asked questions

My planning application was refused, can I appeal?+

Yes. You can usually appeal a refusal within a set time limit, and how the case is argued matters a great deal. A lawyer can assess the prospects and prepare or strengthen your appeal.

Do I need permission for my development?+

It depends on the type and scale of the work and any permitted development rights. A short consultation gives you a clear answer and a strategy to get consent as smoothly as possible.

What is a planning enforcement notice?+

It is a formal notice alleging a breach of planning control that can require you to undo work. Deadlines to respond or appeal are strict, so take advice quickly if you receive one.
