About this site

This website and associated online services are provided by The Planning Objection Company Ltd (trading as iObject.co.uk).  The business was founded in 2012 to provide a dedicated planning objection advice and consultancy service - specifically helping those people wishing to oppose planning proposals.

Planning applications submitted throughout the UK are able to be challenged by members of the public for a wide variety of reasons.  However, how this is best achieved is generally unclear and can be extremely daunting to the uninitiated.  We are planning consultants who specialise in helping people to get their views heard during the planning application phase of building and development projects.  We currently cover the English and Welsh planning systems - which are governed by the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (As amended) and by various National Planning Policy Guidance, along with statute and related policies.  Local plans and planning authorities also have their own individual planning policies that add additional layers of complexity to the objection and representation process. 

​We are here to make the objection process simple, concise and straightforward - enabling our customers to build the best possible case for halting inappropriate development.
