      Fighting unfair planning decisions for you- appeals and enforcement action support & advice

      Unfavourable planning decisions do not have to bring your ambitions to an end. Drawing on years of planning experience, including presenting cases at hearings and inquiries, I can dissect a council’s reasons for refusal and craft persuasive arguments that are aligned with national planning policy and established precedent.

      I can demystify the appeals process for you by preparing statements of case and representing you in person where your appeal is not simply a householder or written representations appeal, but is to be decided at informal hearings or public inquiries.

      Throughout the process, I will keep you informed, being realistic about the prospects of success while ensuring you remain fully informed and in control at every stage.

      I will be tenacious on your behalf and will seek to overturn setbacks, unlocking planning permissions that others thought impossible.
