Planning Appraisal

Because planning permission is never guaranteed the first step in any project is always to conduct a planning appraisal to determine the best course of action and the likelihood of success. We will need as much information as possible including photos of the site and a copy of the enforcement notice.

Once we understand what the planning authority feels is in breach, one of our charted planning consultants will then research the project and its relevant planning policies. They will also check the planning history for the site and look for any constraints that may have remove your permitted development rights or make it difficult to secure planning approval.

It will take our consultants about an hour to do the necessary research at which point they can provide you with telephone consultation to discuss the findings and advise you on the best course of action. Unfortunately, there are never any guarantees with planning permission however, as members of the RTPI we are obliged to give frank and honest advice.

If there is a potential solution whether that is to submit some type of planning application or to appeal the enforcement, we will find and recommend the option with the greatest chance of success. Equally if we feel that there is no alternative but to comply with the enforcement or there is a very high chance of failure, we will let you know.

Following the telephone consultation, we will send you a written report of the consultants’ findings which will also outline the recommended course of action and the likelihood of success. We will also provide a quote for us to help you with everything that you need and should you choose to instruct us we will contact the enforcement officer and get started straight away.
