We have handled a sizeable appeal caseload on behalf of a wide range of clients and we achieve an excellent success rate. Enforcement Appeals Professional advice can safeguard both businesses and individuals from the serious implications of enforcement action. A negotiated solution can often be found. We are experienced in all aspects of enforcement work, including enforcement appeals. It is imperative to respond immediately if enforcement action is taken. Drawings and Plans for Submission We offer clients an in-house architectural and design service covering the full range from domestic extensions, flat conversions, changes of use, vehicular crossovers, housing layouts to commercial design. It enables us to identify design solutions to planning problems. Design and Access Statements A design and access statement is a report accompanying and supporting a planning application. A design and access statement should explain the design principles and concepts that have been applied to particular aspects of the proposal - these are the amount, layout, scale, landscaping and appearance of the development. Permitted Development Advice You can make certain types of minor changes to your house without needing to apply for planning permission. These are called "permitted development rights". They derive from a general planning permission granted by Parliament. Bear in mind that the permitted development rights which apply to many common projects for houses do not apply to flats, maisonettes or other buildings. For peace of mind you may choose to apply for a Lawful Development Certificate (see opposite). Lawful Development Certificates While it should be possible in most cases to decide whether or not a proposed project qualifies as permitted development there will inevitably be instances where the decision is less clear cut. For peace of mind you may choose to apply for a Lawful Development Certificate. This option is well worth considering even if you are sure your project is permitted development. If you should later want to sell your property a Lawful Development Certificate may be helpful to answer queries raised by potential buyers or their legal representatives. Appraisal and Feasibility Assessment Expert assessment of development potential is essential for landowners, homeowners and anyone with an interest in the development process. We can identify site constraints and opportunities and apply the relevant planning policy context. We can link planning appraisals, where necessary, with surveying, architectural and other professional advice.

We offer assistance to both individuals and commercial entities.
