Help with a planning appeal

A planning appeal is not simply a second application. The right approach depends on what has happened, the decision or notice being challenged, the appeal route and the evidence available.

Planning Geek can help you assess the prospects, decide whether an appeal is sensible and prepare or support an appeal where there is a realistic case to make.

Planning appeals help reviewing refusal decisions, plans and appeal documents

Want to discuss the decision first?

A paid consultation with Ian is useful if you want to understand the decision, the likely appeal issues and whether another route might be better before committing to an appeal.

Want Planning Geek to prepare the appeal?

Request a fee proposal and tell us what type of appeal is involved. We do not preselect a single appeal type here because refusal, enforcement, certificate and other appeals can require very different work.

Not sure what sort of appeal you have?

Send us the decision notice or other document, the application or appeal reference and any deadline. We can then point you towards the most sensible next step.
