Planning Appeals in Greater London & beyond
Planning Appeals with AATP
If planning permission is refused, there is a right of appeal to the Planning Inspectorate. While we see planning appeals as the last resort if negotiations breakdown, or if there are significant delays, a planning appeal may be the only appropriate method to reach a decision.
We approach appeals with clarity and a full understanding of the case, offering innovative approaches to appeals. There are three types of appeal:
Written Representation
Hearings
Inquiries
We provide the necessary information on the best method of appeal.
On our appeals we ensure a well-considered and innovative approach focusing on the pertinent issues and removing those matters that are not relevant to the case. We work with clients in Croydon, Essex and throughout Greater London.
Planning Enforcement
If you are facing enforcement action it is crucial that you do not ignore it. Once an enforcement notice takes effect, your options start being eroded along with your ability to successfully overcome the action. Enforcement action is discretionary and early intervention, negotiation and compromise is normally preferable to fighting an enforcement appeal.
Types of Enforcement Action
There is a wide range of enforcement powers available to Local Authorities. They include Planning Contravention Notices, Enforcement Notices, Breach of Condition Notices, and Stop Notices. An appropriate planning strategy will depend on the nature of any alleged breach and action already taken by the Council.
