FAQs.

We provide advice and prepare professional planning objection letters that target material planning grounds, reference policy, and request refusal, and if relevant, design alterations or robust conditions.

Share the application reference number, name of the Local Authority and a brief outline of your concerns. When we have this information, we will provide a free, no-obligation assessment of the application.

This involves looking over the application on the Council’s website, outlining what the strongest reasons for objection are in line with Local and National Planning Policy, and providing an up-front, fixed fee if you want to instruct us to provide a full objection letter for you. 

Typically, we will provide your initial consultation on the same day, and once instructed, we will provide a first draft within a week. Following this, we can continue making changes to the objection until it is time to submit it to the Council.

We review the changes, advise on impact, and submit follow-up comments in an addendum letter within any consultation window. This may attract a small additional fee, depending on the scale of revisions made.
