What is a Householder Planning Appeal?
Householder planning application is required for developments on existing dwellings, such as extensions, annexes, garages, loft conversions, and outbuildings. Some projects may fall under Permitted Development Rights, but more significant changes need full planning permission.
Projects Requiring a Householder Application
Modifications or extensions to existing homes
Extensions to family annexes or the creation of a family annexe
Construction or alterations of incidental buildings like garages or sheds
Householder Planning Appeals Time Limit
You have only 12 weeks from the date of refusal to file an appeal. This is a strict statutory deadline. If missed, your only option is to reapply, as you cannot challenge the decision beyond this period.

Case Studies
Mr A in Bristol approached us after his retrospective planning application for a rear conservatory was refused. He was facing an enforcement notice and the potential loss of over £20,000. Understandably, he was desperate to keep the conservatory.
After a thorough review of the case, we demonstrated to the Planning Inspectorate that the conservatory did not pose any significant issues in planning terms and should be retained. The appeal was successful, meaning Mr A could keep his conservatory, and his home was safe from the financial loss of demolition.
