Achieving success in Planning Appeals for New Dwellings often requires an appeal crafted to the highest standards. The appeal statement must effectively dismantle the local authority's reasons for refusal while also presenting a detailed and compelling argument that aligns with both local and national policies, including a thorough examination of the required need in relation to the local authority's need figures. Furthermore, it should incorporate relevant precedent cases from both local authority levels and the national planning inspectorate level.
Our appeal statements, designed for written representation appeals, are comprehensive produced by our in-house appeals team.
It's crucial to understand that a new dwelling planning appeal is directed to the Planning Inspectorate, a Government Department that reports to the Secretary of State. This process shifts decision-making away from your local council's planning officer, representing your Local Authority, and places it in the hands of a National Planning Inspector who will make the final decision.
Our planning appeal documents for smaller cases typically begin at around 5,000 words, but it is common for New Dwelling Planning Appeals, due to their complexity, to exceed 10,000/ 15,000 words. We have the responsibility to create an appeal document that a Government Planning Inspector will review, and it is vital that our submissions encompass all the elements that the National Planning Inspector expects to ensure that your appeal stands the best chance of success.
