Planning & strategy
Planning arguments and supporting evidence to address the grounds of refusal.
Appeal support may be useful after a refusal where the client needs to understand the planning arguments and evidence required to challenge the decision. The first task is to assess the refusal reasons and the strength of the submitted case.
We review the decision notice, officer report, application documents and relevant correspondence. The scope can include an appeal statement, policy assessment and coordination of specialist responses. Any changes to the proposal or alternative application strategy are considered as part of the agreed advice.
You receive the agreed appeal evidence and a clear account of the issues being addressed. Procedure, deadlines and the suitability of an appeal route must be checked for the specific decision before the appointment proceeds.
Decision notice, officer report, submitted plans and relevant correspondence.
We review the site, proposal and planning stage to agree the appropriate scope. Specialist surveys and assessments are coordinated where needed.

The price shown is a starting estimate for the stated scope. We review the site, proposal, available information and required deliverables, then confirm the fee, exclusions and programme in a written quotation before appointment.
We bring the relevant planning consultants and specialist providers into a coordinated project team. They work from an agreed brief and current proposal, with dependencies and design changes discussed across disciplines. Each consultant remains responsible for their own professional advice and agreed deliverables.
PART OF A COORDINATED APPOINTMENT
This service can form part of a wider coordinated planning appointment. We bring the relevant consultants together to work alongside your design team, discuss assessment findings and identify how recommendations affect other reports and the proposal.
Your fee proposal confirms who prepares each document, the information it relies on and the limits of the instruction. A report provides evidence for the council’s assessment; the planning decision remains the council’s. Explore how our consultants work together or discuss the team your project needs.
