In the event of a refusal of permission BJC can advise on the appropriateness of making an appeal or perhaps an alternative approach to the proposal.

Planning appeals provide an opportunity to challenge the reasonableness of a Council's decision.

Appeals are made to the Communities and Local Government Office and ensure consideration of your proposal by an independent Inspector. We can advise on the overall prospects of pursuing the appeal, the best method to follow and the likely cost of this.

We have also provided an appeals service to local authorities providing expert evidence, and witnesses for inquiries or hearings.
