If your planning application has been refused, Connect Planning ‘s appeal service may be an effective option to obtain planning permission for your scheme. When applications for planning permission or Certificates of Lawfulness are rejected there is a right of appeal to the Secretary of State for applicants within certain timescales.

Connect Planning Consultancy provides a full service for lodging appeals, managing all the aspects of the appeal from start to finish which includes liaising with the relevant council and the Planning Inspectorate, gathering evidence and formulating a convincing justification to support the proposal. The most common type of appeal is the ‘written representation’ procedure that is dealt with solely by written submissions on behalf of the council and the appellant. We can also represent you at Informal Hearings and Public Inquiries which require both written submissions and verbal representation at programmed meetings.
