Planning Appeal Consultants in Tower Hamlets

Expert Support for Appealing Planning Refusals in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets

If your planning application has been refused in Tower Hamlets, this does not have to be the end of your proposal. Cedar Planning provides appeals-only, policy-led planning appeal services in Tower Hamlets, supporting homeowners, architects, landowners and developers in challenging Local Planning Authority decisions.

Tower Hamlets is characterised by high-density development, strategic growth locations, and strong design and amenity controls. Appeals often involve complex assessments of scale, massing, daylight and sunlight, housing standards and cumulative impact. We prepare structured, evidence-based appeal statements that respond directly to refusal reasons, borough policy and national guidance—giving your appeal the strongest possible prospects of success.

For a general overview of the appeal process, see our Planning Appeals service page.

Why Planning Appeals in Tower Hamlets Require Specialist Advice

Common appeal issues in Tower Hamlets include:

• High-density residential schemes and tall buildings

• Daylight, sunlight and overshadowing impacts

• Design quality, scale and massing

• Housing standards and internal space requirements

• Impact on neighbouring residential amenity

• Conservation Areas and heritage assets

• Committee refusals on cumulative impact grounds

Inspectors must balance housing delivery and regeneration objectives against amenity, heritage and design policies. At Cedar Planning, we understand how Tower Hamlets policies are applied in practice—and how Inspectors assess these tensions on appeal.
