Planning and Enforcement appeals
Planning and enforcement appeals

Planning and Enforment appeals
When a planning application is refused you have the right to appeal that decison. The right of appeal is free. Most planning appeals are dealt by way of written submissions although some are dealt with by way of hearings or inquiries. The same holds for Enforcement Appeals although these attract a mandatory fee.
Enforcement appeals
Enforcement notices are served primarily to regularise existing unauthorised development or uses. These appeals are different to planning appeals and incur a manadatory appeal fee.
There are various grounds of appeal which will have to be considered based on your specific enforcement notice.
Again, it is vital that you submit a professional appeal based on sound planning arguments.
Appeals
I was previsouly employed as a senior planning enforcement officer and dealt with planning and enforcement appeals on a regular basis. Since entering privare practice I have represented numerous clients at appeal.
I submit written representation appeals, attend appeal hearings and public inquiries. It is vital that your agent has experience of planning and enforcement appeals procedure as there are stringent time scales to adhere to and protocols to follow.
I have recently won appeals for a dwelling in Axminster, an agricultural tied dwelling in Bideford, a 5 chalet fishing complex in Payhembury, a horticultural nursery in Honiton, a new access in Ottery St Mary, a holiday cottage in Cullompton and a new triple dormer farmhouse roof in Okehampton amongst others.
If you have had a planning application refused or been served with an enforcement notice and wish to appeal that decison then feel free to contact me. If you have a legitimate case I will be happy to represent you.
