Applications and Appeals
We are often contacted by potential clients who have already made an application which has been refused.
Whether this is due to poor advice or an inappropriate application we will reset the process for our clients.
The first step is to review our clients Brief and the existing, failed application.
We will then use a phased approach to assess where that application may have failed, how it can be improved and make the appropriate connection with the key stakeholders, such as parish councillors, who need to be consulted with.
Following that if appropriate might recommend an appeal or a resubmission of the Planning Application Pre App Level in order to save time, money and costs.
