Case Studies

Mr B’s Enforcement Appeal in Kent

Mr B in Kent was served with an enforcement notice for an alleged unauthorised use of his property for holiday rentals. The council claimed that planning permission was required, but Mr B had been renting the property for several years without issue. We examined his case and argued, using planning law precedents, that the enforcement notice was unjustified. The appeal was upheld, saving Mr B from the costs and disruption of changing his business operations.

Ms R’s Listed Building Appeal in Manchester

Ms R approached us after her proposal for alterations to her Grade II listed property in Manchester was refused. The council was concerned about the potential impact of the changes on the historic character of the building, and Ms R was frustrated as she had already invested in the project. We undertook a detailed review of the listed building application, showing that the alterations were sympathetic to the building’s heritage. We referenced key listed building case law and successfully demonstrated to the Planning Inspectorate that the proposal would preserve the building’s historical integrity. The appeal was approved, allowing Ms R to proceed with her plans.
