What happens if my planning application gets turned down?

If your project gets turned down, don’t lose hope. The refused application will come back with the reason why it wasn’t accepted. You’ll be able to appeal against the decision to the Planning Inspectorate, and our planning law solicitors will be by your side to help you do so. If you appeal, it must be done within 6 months of the date of the refusal notice. Once your appeal has been validated, you’ll hear the final decision within 19 weeks. Don’t panic: our planning law solicitors are fully qualified in helping with the appeals process and are here to guide you through and field your questions.

Neighbourhood planning: can I object?

If a neighbour or local business has made a planning application which poses a threat to your home and local area in any way, you can make an objection to the planning office. There will usually be notices left near the site of development with vital details listed such as the planning application number. Take down as much information as possible about the planning proposal and give us a call. Time is of the essence with objections, as applications only take a short amount of time to be accepted or refused. This is the window you have to object, so it’s essential you act fast if you disagree.
