Your Expert Prior Approval Appeals Planning Consultants
If you seek Approval from the Local Planning Authority before work starts, you may need to submit a prior approval application. Prior Approval is required for certain types of development under Permitted Development Rights, allowing you to undertake projects like larger home extensions, changes of use, or new outbuildings without a full planning application.
However, the Local Planning Authority must first assess the impact of your proposal on specific areas, such as:
- Transport
- Flooding
- Noise
- Design
If your prior approval application is refused, don’t worry – you still have options. Planning Appeals UK specializes in helping individuals challenge these decisions through a written appeal process.
Whether you’re planning a home extension, a conversion, or another type of development, we can guide you through the appeal process, ensuring your best chance of success.
Since this is a written process, you won’t have the opportunity to present your case verbally. Still, our team will ensure every detail is presented clearly and professionally in your written submission.
