Planning Permission Refusal : What Can I Do?
If your planning application has been refused, there is a chance that you may be able to appeal the refusal within a strict time limit.
Common reasons to refuse planning permission include:
-
• The Impact on character and appearance of the local area
• The loss of light or privacy on neighbouring properties
• Highways and parking concerns especially with projects in rural areas
• Overdevelopment as per the local authority’s definition
An appeal requires careful analysis of the decision notice and planning policy context.
Mercantile Barristers provides:
-
• Detailed assessment of your original application and advice on the prospects of success at appeal in consultation
• Drafting of persuasive grounds of appeal
• Representation before the Planning Inspectorate where necessary.
The best move you can make if your planning permission has been refused, to protect your invest and ensure the viability of your project is to get advice as soon as possible after you have received your submission refusal decision notice.
