Secure your planning appeal with expert Town Planning Consultants
A planning refusal can be a setback, no matter the scale of your proposal. However, refusals often present an opportunity to appeal. While reasons for refusal vary, some common ones include the following.
Lack of sufficient detail or supporting evidence
An application lacking detail or key supporting documents, such as a planning statement or a design and access statement, can greatly reduce its chances of success. These materials are essential to clearly explain your proposal’s intent, scope, and potential impact. A well-prepared submission helps reduce the risk of refusal and increases the likelihood of approval.
A-B-D-S is here to support you with expert guidance, making sure your application is complete, clear, and ready for review.
Project deemed too bulky or intrusive
Even if a project is acceptable in principle, it can be refused if considered too bulky or intrusive. Common concerns include overshadowing, loss of privacy, and overdevelopment. These issues often arise when a proposal doesn’t blend well with its surroundings in terms of scale, design, or impact.
With expert input from A-B-D-S, you can refine your proposal to better meet local policies and expectations, helping reduce objections and improve the chances of planning approval.
Special circumstances may apply in some cases
Some projects may appear to conflict with planning policies, but very special circumstances can justify an exception. These might include heritage value, environmental benefits, or unique site conditions. When clearly demonstrated, such factors can outweigh standard restrictions and support a favourable outcome.
A-B-D-S can help you build a strong case around these exceptional elements and guide you through the appeal or approval process.
Case Officer Oversight
Sometimes, the Case Officer may misinterpret policies, miss details, or misunderstand the project context. Reviewing the decision carefully and providing extra evidence can help strengthen your appeal and improve your chances of success.
