Refused Planning Permission by Barnet Council?

Don’t let a refusal stop your project. We specialise in overturning Barnet planning decisions.

Why Your Application Was Refused (And How We Fix It)

Barnet Council is notorious for strict policies regarding "suburban character" and "residential amenity." If your decision notice cites Policy DM01, issues with bulk/massing, or impact on neighbours, you are not alone.

At Cedar Planning, we don't just guess; we analyse. We understand the specific nuances of the Barnet Local Plan and the Residential Design Guidance SPD. We know how to construct professional arguments that prove your proposal complies with local and national policy, often overturning the Council's subjective decisions.

Why Choose Cedar Planning?

• MRTPI Chartered Town Planners: Your appeal is handled by qualified experts, not admin staff.

• Honest Feasibility: We offer a free initial review. If we don’t think you can win, we will tell you upfront so you don't waste time and money.

• Fixed-Fee Quotes: No hourly billing surprises. You pay for the job, not the time.
