Planning Appeal Consultants in Ealing

Specialist support for appealing refused planning applications in the London Borough of Ealing

If your planning application has been refused in Ealing, this does not have to be the end of the road. Cedar Planning provides appeals-only, policy-led planning appeal services in Ealing, supporting homeowners, architects, landowners and developers.

Ealing is a borough where suburban character protection, residential amenity, and heritage considerations play a major role in decision-making. Appeals often turn on whether proposals respect established streetscapes while making efficient use of land.

We prepare robust, evidence-based appeal statements responding directly to refusal reasons, Ealing Local Plan policies and national guidance.

Why Planning Appeals Are Commonly Refused in Ealing

Refusals in Ealing frequently relate to:

• Rear and roof extensions in suburban streets

• Overdevelopment of garden plots

• Design and scale that conflicts with local character

• Loss of daylight, sunlight and outlook

• Impact on Conservation Areas and locally listed buildings

Inspectors closely assess whether proposals strike a reasonable balance between growth and character protection.

The Next Steps

You generally have two options after a refusal:

1. Appeal: Ask the independent Planning Inspectorate to review the decision (Recommended if the Council is being unreasonable).

2. Resubmission: Amend the design slightly and re-apply (Recommended if the officer has given a clear steer on what would be acceptable).
