PLANNING APPLICATIONS
Local planning authorities are, in essence, required to determine planning applications in accordance with the provisions of relevant planning policies unless material considerations indicate otherwise.

In our view, the success of a planning application will often depend as much on the manner and quality of presentation as on the correct interpretation of policy. In some instance pre-application negotiations with the Council may also be advantageous.

Our team will design a scheme and prepare the necessary drawings and documentation for planning applications of any type or scale of development. We will pay as much attention to an application for a small porch as we would for a large commercial project. Following submission, we will monitor progress of an application and where necessary carry out negotiations with local planning authorities, provide additional information and, if determined by Planning Committee, will speak in its support at the meeting.

There are many types of planning applications with the principal ones being.

Detailed planning applications for development or use of land or buildings. These are for any type or scale of development.
Outline planning applications where the principle of development, such as the erection of a dwelling on a site, is sought to be established.
Reserved Matters applications - these follow on from the grant of Outline Permission and show precise details of the development granted at outline stage.
Applications for Listed Building Consent for consent to carry out certain works to or near Listed properties.
Conservation Area Consent applications - primarily for demolition of certain structures within a Conservation Area.
Applications for a Certificate of Lawfulness for an existing/proposed use or development - these seek confirmation that a use or development is lawful.
Prior Notification applications - primarily in respect of agricultural development.

BUILDING REGULATIONS APPLICATIONS
Once planning permission has been secured, in the majority of cases Building Regulations Approval is required before construction work can commence. There are two types of Building Regulations Applications;

Full Plans Submission
Building Notice

We can advise on the method best suited to Clients' needs, produce the relevant documents and, where necessary, coordinate the input from specialist consultants - e.g. Structural and Service Engineers.

APPEALS
In the case of a planning application being refused or an Enforcement Notice being served, there are three main ways to Appeal;

by Written Representations
Hearing
Public Inquiry

We give advice as to which form is best suited to your circumstances and prepare the appropriate documentation. Additional input from specialists may be required for certain appeals, and we have a stable of consultants and lawyers that can be brought in where necessary.

SITE APPRAISAL
Whether you already own a site or intend to purchase one, we can provide advice on development potential. We are able to advise on such matters as design, density, style and use of buildings or activities that may be possible on a site, with or without the need for planning permission.
