What is a planning appeal?

The applicant always has a right to appeal following the receipt of a refusal. An appeal is submitted to the Planning and Environment Decisions Wales body who then appoints an Inspector to hear the appeal and issues a decision following a robust and objective assessment of the appeal case.

MAPlanning can prepare, submit and manage an appeal on your behalf using many years of experience and a history of a high rate of success.

What can be appealed?

Applicants may appeal on a range of grounds. These include where the Local Planning Authority has:

  • Refused planning permission;
  • Granted planning permission but imposed conditions;
  • Been unable to decide an application within the time allowed; and
  • Asked for further information before an outline planning application could be decided.

How much does it cost to appeal an application?

Neither the Planning and Environment Decisions Wales nor the Local Planning Authorities charge for planning appeals. However, you would be expected to pay towards any specialist or consultant whom you have instructed to prepare the planning appeal case.

MAPlanning provides comprehensive planning appeal consultancy based on fees arranged on three tiers which are an approximate reflection of the level of workload required to undertake the proportionate level of work to ensure the best case is put forward:

  • Basic Appeal Services
  • Intermediate Appeal Services
  • Comprehensive Appeal Services
  • Bespoke services, on a case by case basis (i.e. No-Win-No-Fee)

What Our Clients Say

"Can I repeat my thanks for your expertise and speed in the preparation of your report. My only downside is that our paths have not crossed before. I act for a number of clients where your kind of remit has always been dealt with in house but not to the standard and speed evidenced by you. I have added you to our consultants panel and will not hesitate to use you again." - Managing Director, Planning Consultancy

"You have been very concice and reasurring whilest getting on the key issues" - Planning Advice to Developer (Norfolk)

“The final version of the Addendum, there was nothing I could usefully add to what is really a very good piece of work: it makes the very most of a difficult situation, is concise and compelling reading, and is, I think, the best that can be done. Thus, unless you would like me to write an Opinion to confirm their approach is correct, I do not think there is anything I can sensibly add.“ - Solicitor regarding a scheme for four dwellings (Rother)
