Objecting to a planning applicationGet Taken SeriouslyYou need your views to be taken seriously by the authorities and to persuade them to refuse planning permission. At the very least you will need to put forward a persuasive argument to influence the local authorities decision - because once planning has been approved: There is no right of appeal!
Be preparedA powerful, effective objection should be thoroughly prepared, objective and must be based upon genuine / material reasons for refusal. It needs to be well-presented; a coherent and well structured document which uses language familiar to Planning Officers and Councillors.
The right people - at the right timeOur team of experienced planning professionals are dedicated to helping people just like you to produce effective planning objections - generally with only a few day's lead time.
