Professional Planning Appeal Services – Buckinghamshire

Our Buckinghamshire Planning Appeal Process

1. Free Initial Appeal Review

We start with a no-cost desktop assessment, reviewing:

• The Council’s refusal reasons

• The planning officer’s report (where available)

• Relevant local and national planning policies

• Site constraints such as Green Belt, Conservation Areas or AONB

You will receive a clear professional opinion on whether an appeal is justified.

2. Strategy Advice – Appeal or Re-Submission

If an appeal is unlikely to succeed, we will explain why and advise on:

• Amended schemes

• Fallback positions

• Certificate of Lawfulness options

• Re-submission strategies to address refusal reasons

Our advice is always practical and outcome-focused.

3. Detailed Appeal Preparation

If you proceed, we will carry out in-depth research including:

• Buckinghamshire Local Plan policies

• Relevant NPPF considerations

• Appeal precedents and Inspector decisions

• Planning law and material considerations

We then prepare a robust Statement of Case, clearly demonstrating why the appeal should be allowed.

4. Review & Submission

Before submission, you will receive a full draft of the appeal statement to review.
We only submit once you are completely satisfied.

We then manage the appeal process through to decision.

Appeals We Handle

We regularly act on appeals involving:

• Householder extensions and alterations

• Green Belt development

• Change of use applications

• Lawful Development Certificates

• Commercial and mixed-use schemes

• Prior approval and permitted development disputes
